Wild red ruffed lemurs are found in Madagascar on the continent of Africa (Red-ruffed Lemur). This species has a restricted range, primarily inhabiting the remaining primary forests of the Masoala Peninsula and the region immediately north of the Bay of Antongil in north-eastern Madagascar (Red Ruffed Lemur). The habitats this species generally reside in are in tropical rainforests and are labeled as an endangered species (Red-ruffed Lemur). They have been seen just east of the Antainambalana River, which divides their range from that of the black and white ruffed lemurs (Red Ruffed Lemur Habitat and Conservation Facts | Duke Lemur Center). In the wild, red ruffed lemurs are limited to the seasonal eastern rainforests of Madagascar and are not
EFFECT OF DEVELOPMENT ON AGRICULTURE IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA, CAMEROON AND ETHIOPIA UNIVERSITY OF ILLIONOIS AT CHICAGO GEOGRAPHY 151, FALL 2012 IDRIS YATOU TA: WALKER The history of Africa is one riddled with European feudalistic, capitalistic, and imperialistic influences. France, Germany, Italy, and Great Britain colonized and exploited Africa’s land and resources, particularly in the nineteenth and twentieth century. Many of those colonized African nations were crippled after gaining their independence from European colonizers; and several have not, unfortunately, been able to successfully develop an autonomous and healthy nation-state. There are some areas of Africa that are worse than others. In particular, Sub-Saharan Africa has
The Azande, by Holly Peters-Golden The people known as the Azande are a melding together of what were separate clans in the past. They live primarily in the northeastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, in southwestern Sudan, and in the southeastern Central African Republic. The Congolese Azande live in Orientale Province, specifically along the Uele River; and the Central African Azande live in the districts of Rafaï, Zémio, and Obo. The Azande speak Zande, which they call Pazande in their language. Zande is an Adamawa-Ubangi language.
Africans served as slaves on plantations. In the southern English colonies, there were plantation owners, indentured servants, and slaves, in the middle colonies there were traders, and in the northern colonies there were small farmers and manufacturers. New France was composed of fur trappers and missionaries. 2. The sugar plantations of the Portuguese in Brazil and the silver mines Spain in Peru and Mexico both aided in the economic development of colonial Latin America.
Africans were forced into new modernization of agricultural technique which was introduced by Europeans. In essence, native Africans had to produce what they don’t consume and what they don’t produce in order to enrich the home country. Food produced by Africans was transported to the home country for profit. Meanwhile, non native whites profited richly from this economic system and native black populations remain in poverty (Korieh & Njoku, P.339-342). Underdevelopment There was several immediately obvious aspect of that underdevelopment that we need to elaborate.
I will now write about the fun facts and tell you about my observations. Chimpanzees are currently on the endangered species list, which I find very unfortunate. Populations have decreased because of foresting, hunting, commercial exportation, and collection for scientific research. Although chimpanzees are protected in 34 national parks and reserves, laws can be difficult to enforce in remote regions. Chimpanzees can be found all over Africa, from Senegal and Gambia to Uganda and Tanzania.
Tropical Savanna A biome is a large geographical area of distinctive plant and animal groups, which are adapted to that particular environment. The climate and geography of a region determines what type of biome can exist in that region. Major biomes include deserts, forests, grasslands, tundra, and savanna. Each biome consists of many ecosystems whose communities have adapted to the small differences in climate and the environment inside the biome. Any change in one part of an environment, like an increase or decrease of a species of animal or plant, causes a ripple effect of change in through other parts of the environment.

Plant Functions a) Plants in the Savanna regions are highly specialized to grow in this region during long periods of drought b) They have long tap roots that can reach the deep water table, thick bark to resist forest fires, trunks that can store water, and leaves that _______ off during the winter to conserve water. c) Some plants have sharp thorns, or a __________ taste to discourage animals from feeding on them.

Anthropology of Yanomami By: Rana Elahmad The Yanomami are a large population of indigenous Amerindian people in South America. They reside in the Amazon rainforest, among the hills that line the border between Brazil and Venezuela. Due to the remoteness of their residence, they had remained largely uncontacted by the outside world until the beginning of the 20th century. This allowed them to retain several aspects of their traditional culture and have been a subject of study by modern researchers. The word Yanomami means "human being" in their language.
The leading hypothesis concerning how our species emerged is the “Out of Africa Hypothesis’. This hypothesis suggests that all modern humans are descendants of a few ancestors that began 250,000 years ago. With this statement, it also says that humans emerged from Africa and lived there for the longest time before some decided to migrate. 2. The relationship between human foragers and their environment was very weak.
