My presentation is about elephants, their lifestyle and their contributions to the international underground economy. Captive and wild elephants alike are threatened by endangerment, and this presentation will serve to raise awareness of this problem.
Loxodonta Africana
African elephants live on the grasslands and savannahs of Africa and can grow up to 12 feet tall and weigh 10,000 pounds, making them the largest living land animal. They give birth after 20-22 month pregnancies and depend on their mothers for care for 8-10 years. In 1989, African elephants were listed as vulnerable by the IUCN due to poaching for their ivory tusks being their biggest threat despite their large size protecting them from most predators.
Brazil powerpoint ollie and ari
Brazil has a population of over 199 million people and its capital is Brasilia. The majority of Brazil has a tropical climate and some of the Amazon rainforest is located in northern Brazil. The Amazon rainforest supports a wide variety of plant and animal life, including over 3,000 fish species, 400 mammal species like jaguars and pink river dolphins, 1,300 bird species including toucans and hummingbirds, and reptiles such as turtles, boa snakes, and black caimans.
Endangered animals
The document discusses three endangered animals: the Carranchina turtle, which is a small South American turtle with few remaining in the wild; the Yellow-eared parrot, a colorful parrot found in Colombian and Ecuadorian jungles with only about 2600 total remaining; and the pink dolphin, a rare dolphin found in the Amazon River that acquires a pink color as an adult and has a population of around 13,000.

Elephants are the largest living land animals, with a gestation period of 22 months, the longest of any land animal. Giraffes are the tallest living animal species and the largest ruminant, averaging 4.3-5.2 meters tall for males and 1,200-830 kilograms for males and females, respectively. Monkeys are generally considered intelligent primates that are not prosimians or apes, with 264 known extant species that have tails unlike apes.
Serengeti National Park
History, Geography, and other interesting facts about the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania, which is a natural wonder as well as a popular tourist attraction.

The Amazon rainforest is the largest rainforest in the world. It is located in South America and called "the lungs of the planet" due to its role in absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The Amazon is home to extremely high biodiversity, containing about 2.5 million insect species, tens of thousands of plant species, and over 2,000 species of birds and mammals. Many indigenous tribes still live in the Amazon rainforest, some with little or no contact with the outside world.
The Javan Rhinoceros researched by Vincent Jansen Van Rensburg
The Javan rhinoceros is one of the rarest rhino species, with fewer than 50 remaining in a single national park in Java. They are smaller than other rhinos and have gray or brown armor-like skin. Poaching is a major threat as their horns are valued in Asian medicine, and the last one in Vietnam was killed by poachers in 2010. They live solitary lives in dense forests and reed beds, and feed on various plants. Females give birth to one calf after a 16-19 month gestation.

Digital life south africa event jan 2012 mark short
This document discusses digital media usage in South Africa based on a survey conducted by TNS. Some of the key findings include:
- Internet and mobile penetration in South Africa is growing rapidly but still relatively low compared to global standards. Most internet users are new to the internet.
- Social media is the most important online activity, with Facebook being widely used. However, interactions with brands online are still limited.
- Mobile phones are the primary means of internet access. Younger users are more likely to use PCs.

2 What Is Development African Representations Africa Map June 27, 2008
The document discusses various theories and perspectives on development in Africa, including:
1) Marxist and modernization theories from the 1950s-60s viewed development as stages leading to industrialization and capitalism, but these models did not accurately describe Africa's experience.
2) Dependency theorists like Rodney argued that European colonialism and the slave trade underdeveloped Africa by extracting resources and redirecting profits abroad.
3) More recent approaches emphasize participatory development, human rights, and measuring development through indicators like health, education, and standard of living rather than just economic growth.
4) Scholars also critique the common Western perspectives that portray Africa as a tragic, underdeveloped continent in need of outside help, rather

Why is Africa Poor?
This document discusses factors that may limit the number of billionaires in Africa compared to other parts of the world, such as the United States. It aims to understand challenges facing wealth generation in different societies and reasons for lack of wealth in Africa. While environmental obstacles can impact development, political and historical factors often have a larger effect. Common challenges in Africa like disease, drought, floods, war, corruption, and being landlocked are explored as possible limitations on wealth production compared to wealthier nations with more political stability that have hundreds of billionaires.
Africa , life of bushmen
The Bushmen, also known as the San people, are the oldest inhabitants of southern Africa. They traditionally roamed throughout southern Africa but are now confined to the arid Kalahari Desert region. The Bushmen live in small family groups and lead nomadic lives within fixed territories in the Kalahari Desert. They hunt antelope with bows and poison arrows and gather plants for food. The Bushmen now face an uncertain future, as many have lost their traditional lands and lifestyles.
African Culture
Africa is the second largest continent, home to over 1 billion people speaking thousands of languages. It has a rich cultural heritage expressed through diverse musical traditions, dance, art, masks, and cuisines featuring ingredients like yams, cassava and spices. Religions practiced include Christianity, Islam, and traditional African beliefs.
African cultures ppt
There are three major religions in Africa: traditional beliefs, Christianity, and Islam. Traditional African beliefs vary between ethnic groups but generally involve worship of spirits, gods, and ancestors as well as sacrifice. Ethnic groups each have their own languages, customs, and religions, with Arabs predominantly following Islam and groups like the Ashanti and Bantu typically practicing traditional religions that incorporate ancestral worship and spiritual elements.
Africa presentation 1
This document contains images that depict various landscapes, landmarks, and cities across Africa. It includes photos of the Pyramids of Giza and Great Sphinx in Egypt, Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, Victoria Falls between Zambia and Zimbabwe, Lake Tanganyika, the Sahara Desert, and Serengeti Plain in Tanzania and Kenya. It also contains images of cities like Cairo, Alexandria, Johannesburg, Lagos, and Kinshasa showing their architecture, landscapes, and growing populations.
African culture
Africa has immense cultural diversity due to its large size and geographical barriers separating peoples. [1] This has led to hundreds of distinct cultures within various nations and the use of European languages as official government languages. [2] Traditional African cultures place heavy emphasis on extended families and community over the individual. [3] Marriage customs, roles of family members, and beliefs surrounding death and the afterlife vary significantly between different ethnic groups across the continent.
