Water is Life
For many of us, water simply flows from a faucet, and we think little about it beyond this point of contact. We have lost a sense of respect for the wild river, for the complex workings of a wetland, for the intricate web of life that water supports." How many litres of water do you use while brushing your teeth or simply washing a spoon? think about this and act wisely

Most of us share a fascination with the unknown. Thanks to this – as well as tremendous advances in technology – most of our planet has been quite thoroughly examined. Some areas remain, however, which are home to creatures that science has yet to encounter.Recently discovered animals number in the thousands. Thus far, 1.8 million unique species have been documented; it’s estimated that more than ten million species remain to be found. Most newly discovered creatures are minute organisms of little interest; some, however, are creatures of immense interest, which simply eluded us for quite some time. The following is most recently discovered such animals. Walter’s Duiker
Walter’s Duiker is a fascinating little creature, officially discovered in 2010 in the Dahomey Gap, West Africa. The species made its first foray into the world of science in 1968, when Walter Verheyen – the man after whom the species is named – retrieved a specimen in Togo. This species of duiker is native to Togo, Benin, and Nigeria.

Invasive Species Plant or animal species introduced to a new area are called non-native, or exotic, and when they rapidly colonize new areas, they are considered invasive. The prevalence of invasive species is correlated with our global trading activities which disrupt our freshwater and forest ecosystems. A widely known invasive plant Prosopis juliflora known by locals as “Mathenge” and Water hyacinth is causing us to lose billions in agricultural land and fish production. Let’s join hands together to curb all exotic plants in collaboration with Kenya Plant Health Inspectorate Service “KEPHIS”. Please suggest ideas to deal with these problems.
