Farming is the backbone of a country and coffee farming contributes to the well being of the economy.USAID and Blue marble partnering together could help farmers by enhancing climate resilient coffee, which will increase their income.Coffee creates job opportunities for the young people and this reduces the crime rate in the country.Most farmers are not aware or have little knowledge on Insurance coverage against climate change.Protecting against climate related risks like drought, floods by Blue marble projects could help a great deal. Institutions and companies should be rushing to finance such projects which will yield positive results in the future.https://www.reinsurancene.ws/blue-marble-and-usaid-enhance-climate-resilience-for-kenyan-coffee-farmers/

UN women have done a great job implementing climate smart agriculture project.To get to the implementation stage, lots of other steps have been done, like the idea,the research, the funding which KOICA has done a tremendous job.Great projects yielding positive fruits,could be a lesson to other counties that have not yet done so.The other 44 counties could borrow afew tips and invest.Empowering women gives them a sense of pride, responsibility and makes them feel included and being part of something big.More income for the people is earned through this project and it will improve their livelihood.Massive economic transformation will sure be achieved.https://nation.africa/kenya/news/gender/how-climate-smart-farming-has-revolutionised-women-s-lives-in-three-counties-4600976

Wildlife must be protected at all cost, Nigeria signing a partnership with Cameroon shows the willingness to protect the natural habitats of this animals.Uniting will be what saves us all.We must coexist together without anyone or any animal being eliminated.Many of the animals have succumbed to poaching and it should now be a thing of the past.Both Cameroon and Nigerias minister of forestry are doing a good job, the countries could boost each others ideas, financially and economically, it is just a matter of time.African countries should stand together in this hard times for a better tomorrow but some do not see eye to eye and that's sad.

Water is life!!! People cannot survive without it, but when that water is polluted, it is not healthy for human consumption.Fruitful discussions like the one led in Uganda by UNMA and uganda redcross could help people assemble ideas that could solve such problems.These mitigation measures could mean a whole lot to the government of Uganda.The number of diseases that are related to water are numerous and very deadly when it comes to killing people.Women and Children suffer greatly because of water hazards.Other African countries could follow Ugandas footsteps for a healthier nation.Such talks should be supported by everyone https://chimpreports.com/uganda-red-cross-climate-action-project-unma-discuss-water-disaster-responses/

DRC is turning a blind eye to illegal timber that is being exported from the country to their neighbor's like Kenya.How do they even get passed the boarders?? Is it that someone has never seen this act or is it a matter of how much can buy your silence?.Why would countries like Kenya allow illegal timber into the country?? Is there no way to check how transparent the transactions were.Some of this trees that are being cut down are very old and very rare, a time will come where they will all go extinct.Kenya has this thing where you cannot cut down certain trees without permission, which is very good and helps keep tabs on these traditional trees.Some people use their bucks for medicinal purposes, therefore we must protect them at all cost.https://www.theafricareport.com/342055/kenya-talks-big-on-climate-while-illegal-timber-from-ancient-trees-flows-in-daily-from-the-drc/

MOOSE HUNT Nevada seems to think that the hunt season for the moose is near, but is there really not enough for everyone(nature). Can't nature sustain all of us no matter the population?? I understand that now the moose population is moving to warmer places than they usually do due to climate change.I think that even though they move, there is still enough for everyone so long as they are not going to displace another surviving animal or specie in their new habitat.Funny enough some other species are moving too.Truly climate change has affected everyone!!! Something needs to be done ASAP.Then again, when these animals move, what effect will they have on nature.https://apnews.com/article/moose-hunt-climate-change-nevada-wildlife-science-0d935b67e0462831410a6e30116db0c2

Unfortunately, nature cannot sustain everyone no matter the population. Most organisms are coded to keep multiplying and growing until the natural resources run out, at which point the organisms begin to die out until the population is small enough to sustain on the available resources. Normally, nature manages these populations itself by ways of the food chain. Predators keep other populations in check, making sure that the natural resources are sufficient. I believe that a lot of moose hunts are necessary as a consequence of humans killing off too many predators, meaning that moose populations can grow uncontrollably at the expense of other species. This will only get worse as climate change changes the habitats that these animals live in - we need to be very careful of what animals we hunt going forward, as overhunting can be completely devastating to certain populations when their habitats change due to the climate crisis.

New Dawn in lives of farmers.Majority of the people think collecting water is a thing of the past and should not even be considered.However, it could be our only solution right now to ensure that there is enough water supply for farming during the dry season.During the rainy season where floods normally happen, such water could be collected for future use.People just have to be smart on how to go about it in matters regarding funding too.A farmer like Steve Macharia will have food security and financial stability during the dry season.What if all farmers used this kind of method?? We would no longer worry about inadequate food in the country and more job opportunities will rise up.https://www.ft.com/content/90debf42-0e13-4552-a740-dec39b52fe70
