Whether scientific research is needed for canidae assemblage?

Importantly, most of the canids are poorly known. The priority species and sites are two endangered ones: wild dog of Africa (Lycaon pictus) and dholes (Cuon alpinus). As for the first one, there is a need to pioneer a small project for evaluating ethnozoological status and presence-absence study of this rare creature in West Africa. The most important area is northern Cote D'ivoire, namely Parc national de la Comoé, where the species was recorded historically. Another priority site is located somewhere in Ghana, in the east part of the country. The area of interest is Kyabobo National Park near the border with Togo. Hunters that have lived there for years reported that dog-like carnivores occured in the park. Another canid of interest is dhole, and the ecosystem of Central China. We are keen for pioneer studies or update distribution records in areas covered vast territories, from Daba Shan up to Luoxiao Range. Most interesting is the so-called Shennongjia Sanctuary, an area of mystery of biodiversity. Dhole is rare, pack-hunter recorded in various habitats of Central China. With various local names and a great role in human-wildlife conflict it is a pejorative species. This elusive carnivore has collapsed by decades, due to diseases, depletion of prey base, persecution and a bit by habitat loss. There are of course ideas of small jobs, which are so-called species hunting. Little is known of ecological requirements of Canidae guild in high, wild plateaus of Katanga (south Congo), where explorers have recorded quaint undescribed canid. There is a lack of data about basal data on canidae guild in West Africa in such wild places, as the woodland of Nasarawa (central Nigeria), Kwahu Plateau of Ghana, but there are some studies in Atakora Mountains of Benin near well-known W-Arly-Pendjari Transboundary Park. We would undertake a small camera trapping survey for searching two canids of these lands recorded historically, such as Lycaon pictus and side-striped jackal. Short carnivore survey can be done in Koro-Toro of central Tchad. There are needed for conservation efforts in wild Asia in such wild places as indochinese region called Tonkin Jungle (of Vietnam). In such two regions research and conservation of rare canids are kindly appreciated. Other project can be undertaken in mountains of Central China, where scientists have recorded dholes Cuon alpinus of Szechuan and another canid of the Vulpes genera with shaggy fur, being not yet described by science. It is now believed to be only domestic dog but with lack of proof. Ecological requirements of these canids can be studied in this vast land.

March 25, 2023 - Day 86

Cotonou, Benin, Africa

Cotonou has a population of about 800,000 people. The city lies in the southeast of Benin between the Atlantic Ocean and Lake Nokoué. It is Benin's largest city, it is the seat of government, although Porto-Novo is the official capital.

The country of Benin is a French-speaking West African nation and is the birthplace of the vodun (or “voodoo”) religion. To the north, Pendjari National Park offers safaris with elephants, hippos and lions.

We took a bus into a commercial area with lots of shops and at least one bar with cold local Beer which I sampled. The place is much nicer than Togo but is still a West Africa country with many people living off the grid and just making it. There were many people that spoke English and I was told everyone takes English in school but French is certainly their first language. I didn’t see anyone practicing Voodoo.

13 business ideas that could see the light of day in Africa

African entrepreneurship is on the rise and more and more young graduates are choosing to start their own business rather than looking for a job. In this article, we offer you 13 business ideas to create in Africa, which may be able to inspire you! What is a business ? A company is an organization that pursues economic, commercial or industrial activities. It can be a separate legal entity from its owners, employees and other members. How to start a business in Africa In Africa, there are many opportunities to start a business and engage in entrepreneurship. Here are 13 business ideas you can start on the continent : What are the 13 business ideas capable of succeeding in Africa ! Africa is a continent in full economic expansion, with many opportunities for visionary entrepreneurs. Here are 13 business ideas that could succeed in Africa : Idea 1: Create an employee referral social network In a world where people increasingly tend to seek reviews and recommendations online before making a decision, it only makes sense for companies to consider creating an employee recommendation social network. This would allow employers to get to know their candidates better and candidates to better prepare for interviews. Moreover, it could help employers find qualified candidates for vacancies and reduce the dropout rate. Idea 2: Create a co-working space The coworking space is a place where freelancers, freelancers and entrepreneurs can meet, work together and share ideas. These places are usually equipped with high-speed Internet access, a printer and other office equipment. They often offer flexible plans that allow users to pay by the day, week, or month. Coworking spaces are particularly popular with young African workers, as they allow them to save on rent and office costs while enjoying a nurturing and inspiring environment. Additionally, these spaces promote collaboration and networking, which can be extremely valuable for African entrepreneurs looking to grow their business. Idea 3: Create bed and breakfasts with a complete tourist offer, in a destination that is still little known and has great potential Africa is home to many tourist destinations that are still little known and yet have great potential. Among these, we can cite Ghana, Burkina Faso or Mali. The idea is therefore to create bed and breakfasts in one of these destinations, offering a complete tourist offer (transport, accommodation, guided tours, etc.). Ghana is a fascinating country located in West Africa. It is known for its gorgeous beaches, lush rainforests, and rich and varied culture. Burkina Faso is a landlocked country (without access to the sea) but which has many tourist assets: remarkable historical sites such as the city of Bobo-Dioulasso, unspoiled nature with the national parks of W National Park and Pendjari National Park, without forgetting its rich and varied gastronomy. Idea 4: Create a fair and organic coffee brand Fair and organic trade is one of the main drivers of economic growth in Africa. According to the latest estimates, fair trade generates approximately 2.5 billion dollars per year on the African continent. This represents a 20% increase over the previous year. For its part, organic coffee is a booming sector in Africa. Organic coffee production has increased dramatically in recent years, from 4,000 tonnes in 2005 to 30,000 tonnes in 2016. Kenya, Rwanda and Ethiopia are the main producers of organic coffee on the African continent. There is therefore a significant potential market for a company that offers fair trade and organic coffee produced in Africa. This company could specialize in direct sales to consumers, which would maximize profits for African producers. Idea 5: Create an economical and ecological prefab construction solution. The African continent is experiencing strong demographic and urban growth, resulting in a growing demand for housing. However, current construction conditions are unsuitable, as they are often expensive, unsustainable and do not make sufficient use of modern technologies. An interesting business idea would therefore be to create an economical and ecological construction solution based on prefabricated modules. The advantages of this approach are multiple: costs are reduced, quality is guaranteed, construction is faster and cleaner, and it allows better use of natural resources. Idea 6: Create an online sales site for smartphones and accessories Idea 6 consists of creating an online sales site for smartphones and accessories. Customers will be able to purchase cell phones, tablets and accessories such as covers, cases, cables and chargers. The site will also offer a range of services, including the ability to repair damaged devices, provide technical support and update software. Idea 7: Create a language or management training center Africa is a fascinating continent with a rich culture and history. It is also a continent in full economic growth, which makes it an ideal destination for entrepreneurs. If you have language or management skills, you may consider setting up a language or management training center. These centers can offer short-term programs allowing participants to learn the basics of language or management, which will give them an advantage in the African labor market. Idea 8: Create a job site reserved for Africans with a higher education diploma. There are many people in Africa who have college degrees but struggle to find employment. Often, job offers are either inaccessible or targeted towards European or American candidates. However, more and more multinational companies are present in Africa and need qualified personnel. A website dedicated to job offers for African graduates would therefore be very useful. It would allow companies to publish their offers and candidates to apply directly online. In addition, this site could be accompanied by a professional coaching service so that candidates can best present themselves to companies. Idea 9: Create a business club based on the BNI model BNI is a global organization founded in 1985 whose purpose is to connect professionals so they can share ideas, referrals and business opportunities. In Africa, there are already several business clubs that follow this model, including Business Club Africa (BCA) and Leaders Club Africa (LCA). These clubs are usually made up of a small handful of members – usually between 10 and 20 – who meet regularly to discuss their respective businesses. As a member of the club, you have the opportunity to present your company to other members and benefit from the network of knowledge and expertise of the group. Business clubs are a great way to grow your business because you can learn from other members, find potential customers, and build lasting relationships with fellow entrepreneurs. Idea 10: Create a battery energy storage solution linked to renewable energies and solar panels. The development of the renewable energy sector in Africa is a crucial issue for poverty reduction and the fight against global warming. Batteries represent a viable and inexpensive energy storage solution for Africans, especially when combined with renewables and solar panels. Indeed, batteries make it possible to store the energy produced by wind turbines and solar panels so that it is available when it is needed, even when the sun is not shining or the wind is not blowing. In addition, they can be used to power electrical devices such as cell phones, laptops and LED lights. Idea 11: Create an affordable website creation agency. Creating a web design agency is a great business idea in Africa. People need websites for their businesses, but they don't want to pay a fortune to have them created. So you can start your own web design agency at an affordable price. There are a lot of things you will need to consider when setting up your agency. First, you will need to find the right tool to build the websites. There are many software available, but some are better than others. Some are even free! Once you find the right tool, you will need to learn how to use it. Fortunately, there are many resources online that will help you learn how to use these tools. Once you are able to build websites, you will need to find potential customers. Idea 12: Start a funeral planning business. The funeral services industry is booming in Africa as Africans place great importance on celebrating the passing of their loved ones. For this reason, there is a market for companies that can help families plan dignified and respectful funerals. Entrepreneurs with experience in the funeral or social work industry will be well placed to start this type of business. The services offered by these companies may include helping to prepare the necessary documents, transporting the remains, organizing the ceremony and advising the bereaved families. Idea 13: Create a dating site by affinity, targeting the middle class. The idea here is to create an online dating site specially designed for people belonging to the middle class. This would allow members of that social group to connect and communicate with others who share the same interests and values. This type of platform would also offer a greater variety of options and features than existing dating sites, making it a more rewarding experience for its users. Read the full article
