This week we will have a closer look at Malawi   Malawi is often billed as 'the warm heart of Africa' and that is not far from the truth. The country's scenery is varied and gorgeous, while the people are very friendly toward travelers. Malawi is particularly famous for its orchids: more than 400 species have been recorded. Malawi has numerous national parks and game reserves, as well as mountainous areas where hiking and trekking is possible. Malawi's parks boast many large animals, but they are not the vast herds that one can sometimes see in other countries in the region. Malawi is a compact country with a reasonably developed transportation network and it is quite easy to get around. Accommodation is relatively easy found. Some of the most interesting sights include the capital of Lilongwe, Blantyre, Malawi's main highland areas of the Nyika and Viphya Plateaux and Lake Malawi, which straddles the country along most of its eastern side. In the Lake live more the 500 animal species; more than any other inland body of water in the world. Lake Malawi is excellent for diving, boating or swimming. The best time to visit the country is during the dry season, from May to October/November. In October temperatures average 32°C (90°F), while July is the coolest month, with daily highs around 21°C (70°F). From mid-October to the end of April is the wet season.

World Global warming could doom hundreds of land plants and animals to extinction over the next 50 years by marooning them in harsh, changed surroundings, scientists warn. A sweeping new analysis enlisting scientists from 14 laboratories around the globe found that more than one-third of 1103 native species they studied could vanish or plunge to near extinction by 2050 as climate change turns plains into deserts or alters forests. Among the already threatened species that could go extinct are Australia's Boyd's forest dragon, Europe's azure-winged magpie and Mexico's Jico deer mouse. The researchers concede there are many uncertainties in both climate forecasts and the computer models they used to forecast future extinctions. But they said their dire conclusions may well come to pass if industrial nations do not curtail emissions of greenhouse gases that trap heat in the atmosphere.  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
