Wolof largest ethnic in Senegal 🇸🇳.

Wolof are very tall and mostly dark skin people of sahel (west Africa) found majority in Senegal, Gambia and southwestern Mauritiania, somewhere found small minorities in mali, guinea and guinea bissau. Wolof are ethnically senegambian family an ethnic family that include serer, fulani, jola or Diola, tuculur and lebu which culturally, and linguistically appear to be mutually intelligible as senegambian family that their origin date back to ancient bafour of Mauritania and far southermost sanhaja berber tribe called zenegha from where the word senegal come from. The ancient bafour paleolitic expansion appear to be mande ethnic family that their Neolithic expansion emerge as the pure ancestry to senegambian family.

The mande ethnic family ( serehule, mandinka, soninke, malinke, sosso, mandingo etc) and senegambian family (fulani, wolof, jalo, serer etc) share same origin and ancestry from basal west Africans ( the pure west African lineage) Bafour of Mauritiania

Trip to Kew Gardens on 14/08/2020

I made my first research based trip to Kew Gardens on the 14th of August. Due to COVID the gardens weren't open to public for a long period of summer however I managed to pay a visit. Unfortunately the Marianne North gallery and the Shirley Sherwood gallery were both closed, as were the archives, however I hope to make a visit to this at some point when they open, however due to COVID this is difficult at the moment.

Things I learnt from my visit:

The greenhouses are home to a wide range of plants, many of which are extinct in the wild and only thrive within the care of Kew, as they can keep conditions perfect for them

Kew has a history of cultivating plants with medicinal properties, scientists look at the chemical components to identify potentially beneficial compounds, for example, aloe vera

Pollination is an important part in food security - a third of the worlds crop yield depends, to some extent, on pollinators, the Hive, an art sculpture, highlights the importance, pressing question - how can we protect our pollinators to ensure we can feed a growing population?

There is a tree called the ‘Pagoda tree’ which is so old and overgrown that is has been held up by stilts and a brick wall to ensure it can still thrive, it used to stand 15m tall but one the lower branch remains now, it is a relic from Princess Augusta’s original arboretum, 250 years old, horticultural management keeps it alive, brick work protects roots

Alpine plants keep close to the ground to expose only a small surface area, slow growing, over lapping leaves reduce water loss

St Helena olive, extinct, Kew conservationists collected cuttings from last known wild plants before it died, succumbed to termite attacks and fungal infections, DNA stored in sub zero temp at kew DNA bank, may be able to bring species back in the future

Dombeya mauritiania, remarkable at it changes gender depending on the temp, hot conditions it grows male flowers, cool conditions it grows female flowers, was thought to be extinct however a tree was found and cuttings were made, all specimens of this plants are clones of two wild specimens found, hope for future as there is still some genetic diversity to be able to hopefully restore populations

12 specimens of cylindrocline commersonii exist growing on mountainside, only has two species, both critically endangered, seeds stored at seed bank

cabbage tree existence was threatened by feral goats eating it, 1980s three mature trees left, situation was stabilised by reintroducing lost species and the removal of feral goats

managing invasive species must be done to restore plant populations, top 10 pests are: cotton bollworm, tobacco whitefly, cotton aphid, fall army worm, green peach aphid, diamondback moth, taro caterpillar, two-spotted spider mite, brown plant hopper, red flour beetle

A good thing:

Mauritanian Red Crescent and the International Committee of the Red Cross are aiding 72,000 people at the Mail border by distributing blankets, sleeping mats, mosquito nets and kitchen sets. They will also provide waterproof tarpaulins for the up coming rainy season.

A bad thing:

Some 130 major accidents and thousands of minor ones are reported every day in Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal. At this rate, the roads are as deadly as the decade-long civil war that ended in 2006 after killing almost 18,000 people.

A thing to change:
