  • This is one of the villages that was established after the Moroccans threatened to kill anyone possessing manuscripts in Timbuktu. The Kati family escaped and came to this place along the Niger river and has been living here since. Recently, a library was established in Timbuktu and the hidden manuscripts were brought back to be catalogued and preserved in the Fondo Kati Library.

  • Arab Moors  who live in the remote town of Boujbeja struggle to survive in the harsh desert. "Boujbeja" means the luck of the desert but after a severe drought in 1966, they have been fighting the constant push of the sands and must dig 70 meters under ground to get water. Despite these difficult living conditions, the villagers do not want to leave and like the peace they enjoy from the rest of the world. The leader of the villager, Cheik Bey, is trying to preserve ancient manuscripts from his family. Sadly, many of them have been lost or severley damaged but for those that remain it is a magnificent reminder of Africa's literary history.  (Photo by Ami Vitale),

  • Four year old Andy Anderson, dressed only in his rubber boots and underwear,  rushes to help his parents Andrew Anderson and Hilary Zaranek to save a cow in the middle of the night who was having problems delivering in the Centennial Valley of Southwestern Montana, June 13, 2012.  Ranching is tough business with most working 14-16 hour days in the calving season. Spurred by growing consumer concern over meat's environmental impact and concerned about the long-term viability of their livelihood, a cohort of ranchers is trying to apply the understanding gleaned from the science of ecology to livestock management.

  • Scientist M. Sanjayan films at the Wolong Panda Reserve managed by the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda in Sichuan, China. For the first time in 50 years since the WWF adopted the panda as the symbol of wildlife conservation, the loss of one of the world’s most iconic species is being reversed. Their habitat is being restored, and every year from now on, more captive pandas will be “trained” to be wild and then released.<br />
<br />
The accomplishment is extraordinary—first the Chinese have had to solve the famous problem of getting Pandas to mate. Then, they’ve had to take an animal that has lost its wild instincts, and re-train it to survive in the harsh Sichuan mountain cloud forests. It’s taken Chinese researchers over 30 years to solve these problems.<br />
<br />
Many of us have ceased to think of the panda as a “wild” creature. It’s more of a cartoon animal that lives in zoos.  But watching Zhang Xiang, the first female panda to be released into the wild, you realize that she may be the most famous panda that no one—save a handful of scientists-- will ever see.
