ALERT! Tanzania's Proposed Serengeti Highway Threatens Greatest Wildlife Migration on Earth
The government of Tanzania has approved a major commercial highway across Serengeti National Park. The northern Serengeti – located near the Kenya border – is the most remote and pristine area in the Park’s entire ecosystem. Serengeti National Park's locally and globally significant ecosystem is driven by migration of wildebeest, elephant and zebra; and will be utterly devastated by the plan, as will be local livelihoods and well-being. There is a growing local and international support network protesting the project, and together we should be able to ensure it never commences.

Cannot believe that the government would approve such a thing. Hopefully the protests will do enough to ensure that this does not come to pass.
I also wanted to say that I have started writing a blog and would love to get people to read it and even let me know what they think.
