Biodiversity in Africa

Want to understand another piece of the environmental puzzle? The Encyclopedia of Earth presents an in-depth view of Biodiversity in Africa that should be of great interest to lifelong learners interested in understanding the interactions of earth's environments.

This article gives an excellent overview, as well as an extensive reading list. I will just let the piece speak for itself, because it has an eloquent voice.

Ground Water at USGS

Ground-Water Availability in the United States was published in July 2008 by the USGS. You can now download the 79-page pdf.

This report provides a wealth of information on our most important resource. From USGS: "This report examines what is known about the Nation's ground-water availability and outlines a program of study by the U.S. Geological Survey Ground-Water Resources Program to improve our understanding of ground-water availability in major aquifers across the Nation. The approach is designed to provide useful regional information for State and local agencies who manage ground-water resources, while providing the building blocks for a national assessment. The report is written for a wide audience interested or involved in the management, protection, and sustainable use of the Nation's water resources."

This should prove valuable to most lifelong learners.
