    Across large parts of northern Tanzania, gully erosion—soil erosion caused by flowing water—is cutting deep scars through fertile farmland, grazing areas, roads and even villages. These gullies grow faster every year and what was once a slow environmental process has accelerated into a humanitarian threat. It has serious consequences for food and livelihood security, infrastructure and biodiversity.

    In developing immunity to allergens, a little 'dirty' goes a long way

    Conventional wisdom has held for some time that children who grow up in environments rich with biodiversity—farms, homes with pets, rural settings in general—are less likely to have allergies. The thing nobody has ever completely understood is why? Yale researchers have now found an answer. It turns out that exposure to diverse microbes and proteins early in life creates broad immune memory and a specific antibody that helps block allergic reactions later in life. Rather than overreacting to harmless allergens (ragweed, cats, peanuts, etc.), researchers say, an experienced immune system responds in a balanced way.

    Which countries have no forest cover, and why?

    Forests occupy about 31 percent of the Earth’s surface area. They are important in regulating the climate, maintaining biodiversity, protecting the soil, regulating water cycles, and providing livelihoods for most of the world’s population. However, according to World Population Review statistics, there are a few nations that have zero measurable forest cover. This implies that there are no natural forests within the entire territories of such nations. Let's check out the four countries with no forest cover.
