God bless Africa, guard her children, guide her leaders, and give her peace. We said this prayer everyday at noon throughout high school. It resonates with me especially today because it's voting day at home 🏡 🇿🇦

If we don’t start doing some experiments on assisted migration soon, and learning from those experiments in the spirit of active adaptive management, it will be too late for many species. Conservationists are too conservative.
