REPORTAGE: AIDS in der mexikanischen Grenzsstadt Tijuana
From the book "Tomorrow Is A Long Time - Tijuana's Unchecked HIV/AIDS Epidemic"
November 6, 2014 - Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico: Sergio Gonzalez (left) lies on his bunk in Tijuana’s La Mesa prison, where he was jailed the previous February for holding more crystal meth than legally allowed. He was arrested while out with friends in Tijuana on a weekend pass from Albergue Las Memorias, an HIV/AIDS hospice where he was living with his wife Araceli Contreras and son Eduardo. Araceli died that August after she stopped responding to her antiretrovirals. Sergio was not allowed to attend her funeral. Eduardo became a ward of state and was taken to live at EUNIME, a local orphanage where half the two dozen children were HIV-positive. While the United States has seen deaths from HIV/AIDS plummet over the past 20 years, across the border in Tijuana, infected people have continued to die at a fairly constant rate and the virus is still readily spreading among many high-risk populations such as people who in inject drugs, sex workers, men who have sex with men, and transgenders. Tijuana, like many resource-constrained locales worldwide with concentrated HIV/AIDS epidemics, has been slow to adopt the proven treatment and prevention strategies that have checked HIV in the United States, Europe, and Australia. This story profiles people at risk and the already infected, and shows why, in their situations, Tomorrow Is A Long Time. (Malcolm Linton/Polaris) (FOTO:DUKAS/POLARIS) *** Local Caption *** 05232494

Roe deer Daisy at just a few weeks old
4-month-old orphan deer thinks that she is a dog, Hemsby, Norfolk, Britain - 17 Sep 2014
*Full story: http://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/phq3
They might share the same wet noses and cute brown eyes but that's where the similarities should end. But not for four-month-old roe deer Daisy who really has no idea she's not a dog. In fact it's been a real case of puppy love since she was saved by an animal rescue centre and befriended by the owners' two dogs. Now the beautiful creature has developed such a 'deer' friendship with the dogs that she believes she is one of them. Daisy and her furry pals sleep together, eat together and play together. The deer's hooves mean the only thing they can't do together is a take walk. But that hasn't stopped them becoming best pals at the Foxy Lodge animal shelter where Daisy was rushed clinging to life at just a few hours old. She was born as her mother lay dying after being hit by a car and was found with her umbilical cord still attached to the body.

Two tiny orphaned hedgehogs sit delicately cradled in the cupped hands of a dedicated animal care assistant.
Aged under a week old, the hoglets measure no more than the length of an index finger and have almost translucent skin, which sits in folds on their faces like a Shar Pei dog.
The siblings were found by a member of the public and are being looked after at Secret World - a wildlife rescue and rehabilitation centre in East Huntspill, Somerset.
Married wildlife photographers, Ann and Steve Toon, from Northumberland National Park, captured the feeding of the two hoglets while visiting the centre. SEE OUR COPY FOR MORE DETAILS.

Aged under a week old, the hoglets measure no more than the length of an index finger and have almost translucent skin, which sits in folds on their faces like a Shar Pei dog.
The siblings were found by a member of the public and are being looked after at Secret World - a wildlife rescue and rehabilitation centre in East Huntspill, Somerset.
Married wildlife photographers, Ann and Steve Toon, from Northumberland National Park, captured the feeding of the two hoglets while visiting the centre. SEE OUR COPY FOR MORE DETAILS.

Tiny orphan baby dormice being cared for at Secret World Animal Rescue centre, Somerset, Cornwall, Britain - 05 Sep 2012
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Richard Austin / Rex Features (1841620h)
A Berry Lucky Escape
These adorable baby dormice are feeling berry good after enjoying a lucky escape.
Six of the tiny youngsters were discovered alone in a hedge in a garden in Cornwall with their dead mother close by.
The brood was uncovered by Geoff Brown, who heard their frantic squeaking.
Concerned that something was wrong, Geoff called for help from neighbour Jen Bousfield, who monitors dormice numbers in the area.
Recognising that the tiny creatures were in danger, Jen transferred them to the Secret World Animal Rescue centre in Somerset.
If they hadn't been discovered the youngsters would have perished alongside their mother.
Sadly, despite the best care by staff three of the babies did not survive but the others are all doing well.
Indeed, the tiny trio are thriving and are now busily investigating the tasty blackberry bushes at the centre.
Charity founder Pauline Kidner comments: "They are being fed on honeysuckle, blackberries and chopped nuts.
"If their weight reaches 40g before winter, then we will release them back into the wild but if not then we'll look after them for release in the spring".

David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust elephant orphanage, Nairobi, Kenya, America - 28 Nov 2011
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Harry Page / Rex Features (1524145u)
The Elephant Orphanage
The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust elephant orphanage in Nairobi, Kenya is a haven for orphaned baby elephants.
Dedicated staff and keepers at the unusual orphanage care for a host of animals who would otherwise have little chance of survival.
The Trust was established in 1977 to honour the memory of famous naturalist David Sheldrick and has played a significant role in Kenya's conservation efforts ever since.
David's wife Daphne Sheldrick holds the honour of being the first person in the world to successfully hand rear a newborn milk dependent African Elephant, something that took 28 years of trial and error to achieve.
By 2008 the Trust had successfully saved and hand-reared over 82 infant African Elephant calves, two from the day of birth.
Currently, over 40 of the Trust's hand-reared elephants live free amongst their wild peers in Tsavo National Park.
Meanwhile, others are cared for by keepers at two rehabilitation centres with the ultimate aim of introducing them to the wild herd.
One of the Trust's newest arrivals is Kitahaka, who was discovered on 20th November at an estimated seven days old.
It is thought Kitahaka got separated from his mother when his herd was chased out of an area of human settlement.
Due to the terrain and dense forest conditions re-uniting them wasn't possible so Kithaka was airlifted to his new home.
He is currently enjoying round-the-clock care from keeper Julius Shiveghas, who has worked at the Trust for five years.
Julius will now become Kithaka's family - caring for him in every way a mother would.
He feeds the youngster milk, carefully rubs sunscreen into his head to protect him from the harsh African sun and keeps him covered in a warm blanket when it is cooler.
Most of the youngsters cared for by the Trust are orphaned beca...
