Tanzania Road Plan in Serengeti Offers Prospects and Fears

SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK, Tanzania — Every spring, out here on this endless sheet of yellow grass, two million wildebeest, zebras, gazelles and other grazers march north in search of greener pastures, with lions and hyenas stalking them and vultures circling above.

It is called the Great Migration, and it is widely considered one of the most spectacular assemblies of animal life on the planet.

Tour des Dents du Midi

See the pictures to get a glimpse from the Tour

Every time we drive to Verbier we are amazed by the beauty of the Dents du Midi. The famous teeth stand out proud and very visible. Today with great satisfaction we accomplished the tour (about 39 km) and the conditions could not have been better.

Chaque fois que nous montons à Verbier nous sommes surpris par la beauté des Dents du Midi. Les dents se découpent dans le ciel et sont visibles de loin. Aujourd'hui, avec une grande satisfaction nous avons accompli le tour de ce massif (environ 39 km) dans des conditions magnifiques.

Jedesmal auf dem Weg nach Verbier sind wir erstaunt über die Schönheit der Dents du Midi. Die Zacken stechen richtig heraus und sind nicht zu übersehen. Heute, mit einer grossen Genugtuung haben wir die Tour bei grossartigen Bedingugnen bewältigt. (Ungefähr 39 km)

http://www.un.org/wcm/content/site/sport/home/newsandevents/news/template/news_item.jsp?cid=18806

SPORT CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE! Sport and play are human rights that must be respected and enforced worldwide.

Article excerpt:

In a joint statement published for the launch of the International Year of Youth, 27 Heads of UN entities – including Wilfried Lemke – stressed the “importance to recognize that leisure-time activities, sport, tourism and volunteerism can contribute to the physical, emotional, intellectual, ethical and cultural development of young people.” In particular, they acknowledged that “sport gives youth a healthy start and teaches important values such as discipline, cooperation and commitment,” adding that “a greater focus on sport can promote the development of important skills and that are key to the future of our youth.”
