"O continente africano é repleto de contradições. A riqueza cultural e natural convive com as brutais desigualdades econômicas e as constantes violações aos direitos humanos. A África é o continente que, mesmo com toda sua influência na música e cultura dos demais países, é sumariamente esquecido pela comunidade internacional." Emanuel Fonseca Lima Sao Paolo, SP, Brazil
Not having been to Africa, I feel unqualified to make informed comments, but some of my general thoughts follow. As a conservation biologist, my concerns about Africa are both for the human societies and the biodiversity. The continent has such a unique and diverse biota, but widespread poverty means that biological communities suffer. Moreover, many infectious diseases are being transmitted between humans and animals, affecting both the natural and cultural heritage. Decreasing poverty, and increasing education on disease transmission and sustainable wild harvests seem imperative.
