Neo-colonialism disguised as conservancy.

Saw L.A. Confidential at the Los Angeles Theater last nite. Fund-raiser for L.A. Conservancy. James Ellroy introduced the film. He's funny. In town for a book tour. Loved the movie. Particularly impressed with Kim Bassinger. And Kevin Spacey. Too bad he was destroyed by lies.

When I was working as SDO, PH in Bhubaneswar,AMRUT-1 was started.. During that time many Water Supply Projects were taken up in Bhubaneswar,under rehabilitation scheme,Many pipelines were shifted in conservancy lanes of Unit areas (Unit -1 to Unit-6) which were laid beside Sewerage system, contamination of water was completely stopped.AMRUT -2 will improve the standards of Urban living people 🙏🙏🙏

Laikipia conservancies are not just big ranches with animals. Ol Pejeta is larger than 11 of the world’s smallest countries. Tuvalu is looking at Borana Conservancy and thinking, ‘Please stop calling yourself a conservancy, you’re basically a country where rhinos are the citizens

Sleeping Warrior Crater (also known as Sleeping Warrior Hill or Split Crater) is a striking volcanic formation in Kenya’s Great Rift Valley, near Lake Elementaita. From a distance, its eroded hill and crater rim resemble a sleeping Maasai warrior lying on his back, with distinct head, chest, and feet profiles. Aerial views clearly show the crater and signs of past volcanic activity. It lies within Soysambu Conservancy (approx. 48,000 acres), east of Lake Elementaita in the central Rift Valley. The area is part of the UNESCO (@UNESCO) World Heritage-listed Kenya Lake System.
