Timeless world of Ethiopia's Omo valley tribes
Feb, 24, 2023- Chencha, Arba Minch, south Ethiopia: A Dorze hut, which can last up to 80 years, is a fabulously tall structure built from a bamboo frame woven together with grass and banana leaves. Very attractive structures, all the more so because they do not require a central supporting pole inside, and can simply be picked up and put down somewhere else, should the family move, or should the termites eat too much of the bottom of the structure in one particular place.

Les empreintes de pas de deux espèces humaines distinctes, vieilles de 1,5 million d’années, retrouvées près du lac Turkana (Kenya)
Picture MUST credit: Kevin Hatala/Chatham University The 1.5 million year old footprints of two distinct human species made reveal they eked out an existence side by side. The fossilised prints were made along the shore of what is now Lake Turkana in Kenya, They were preserved in mud along with the prints of giant birds that also occupied the area. Scientists say the human prints were made by Homo erectus and Paranthropus boisei, long-extinct species. According to the research team, if the two species didn’t overlap at the site, they crossed it within hours of one another. The team used cutting-edge 3D imaging technologies to create an entirely new way to look at footprints. Homo erectus made its way out of Africa as far as eastern Asia and only went extinct about 110,000 years ago. Paranthropus boisei died out around 1.2 million years ago—shortly after it made tracks on the ancient Kenyan lakeshore. Both species walked upright and agile. The prints were found in 2021 and excavated the following summer. Picture supplied by JLPPA

'There are no crops to celebrate': climate crisis wipes out a way of life in Taiwan's mountains
Countless landslides in Nantou county are disrupting ancient agricultural traditions, leading some to wonder how much longer they can continue to cling to the steep slopes they call home.
Halfway up Taiwan's central mountain ranges, two young women were working a shift at the town's service station in August when the landslide hit. They ran next door for shelter, a decision that probably saved their lives. Moments later, the station became buried under tonnes of earth and rock.
The disaster in Ren'ai township was one of countless landslides in the same month across Nantou, a landlocked county in central Taiwan, triggered by torrential rain brought by the whipping tail of distant typhoon Khanun.
The county in the central region of Taiwan's main island is set in a dramatic range of lush, jungle-covered mountains.
They are sparsely populated, with small towns and villages accessed by winding single-lane roads, where aboriginal tribes are among those making a living mostly through agriculture, and holding on to ancient traditions.
Landslides are not uncommon in Taiwan, the whole island is in a hot zone for typhoons and earthquakes. However, mountain communities like Nantou are particularly vulnerable to extreme weather, and things are getting worse amid the climate crisis.
Nantou county in Taiwan's central mountain ranges was hit by weeks of landslides after the edge of typhoon Khanun brought torrential rain in August 2023. Houses and businesses including a gas station were buried under tonnes of rock and earth. Landslides are not uncommon in Taiwan, which experiences frequent typhoons and earthquakes. However, extreme weather is getting worse amid the climate crisis, and mountain communities like Nantou are particularly vulnerable.

Esk Valley, Napier Floods. HawkeÕs Bay, New Zealand. February 17 2023. Much of the damage caused by the cyclone was from forestry debris known as ÔslashÕ being washed through the Esk valley. Residents of Eskdale, in New Zealand, recount fears on night of flooding as they return to salvage belongings and rescuers continue search for bodies.

Anger grows as illegal construction partly blamed for landslide deaths on Italian island
Seven confirmed dead and search continues for people missing after Saturday's disaster on Ischia.
As rescuers continued to search for five people still missing after a catastrophic landslide in Ischia, anger was growing on the southern Italian island on Sunday over the years of rampant illegal construction that contributed to the disaster.
Seven people, including a three-week-old baby and a pair of young siblings, are confirmed to have died in Saturday's landslide, which was triggered by a violent storm that sent mud and debris from Monte Epomeo peak, crashing into the hamlet of Casamicciola Terme.
