Kogello – the village that nurtured the father of the first African US President was elevated to the world map, as visitors across the globe started touring the area. 

Top Tourist Attraction Sites in Kenya

Maasai Mara is undoubtedly the largest tourist attraction site in Kenya. This is due to the migration of Wildebeests and Thomson’s gazelle that send quakes across the Savannah, not forgetting lions which come to feast on wildebeests.

Tsavo National Park, which is the largest in Kenya, is home to a variety of wildlife. Situated along the Nairobi – Mombasa highway, the Park is a stopover point for tourists heading to Mombasa and Kilifi Counties.

Lake Nakuru National Park is famous over its massive flocks of pink flamingos. The Park was created in 1961 and hosts a variety of other wildlife species such as lions, waterbucks, white rhinos, leopards and warthogs.

Why Kenya is a Great Country

It is beyond dispute that Kenya is stunning. The surrounding calderas, the spectacular Great Rift Valley, mountain ranges, the snow-masked peaks of Mount Kenya and the magnificent Coastal beaches depicts Kenya as the sanctified  country in Africa.

Kenyans must know that the country is well endowed. The country will remain a celebrated tourist destination, if Kenyans preserve the environment for the benefit of posterity.

How Human Noise Kills Marine Species, as revealed by Scientists

Scientists have warned that the discord of noise made by humans is harming marine species .  A comprehensive assessment revealed that large noise from human activities was as harmful as pollution, overfishing and climate change .  The study that was conducted by the Journal Science exposed how marine animals can hear from far distances than they can see or smell. According to a report published in the Guardian, most of the marine life uses sound to catch prey as well as attracting a mating partner.  Prof Carlos Duarte of King Abdullah University in Saudi Arabia argued that: “Marine animal can only sea up to around 10 meters, smell up to around a hundred meters, but they can hear across the entire ocean basins.” The research concluded that sound “is very important in the marine ecosystems, and noise is pervasive, affecting animals at all levels .” The increasing cacophony in the marine habitat is interfering with how marine animals respond to various survival...

Carbon dioxide to Make Jet Fuel, Study Reveals

Photo Source: twitter.com Aircrafts release a lot of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere which contributes to climate change. A research that was conducted by Science News and reported on December, 22 2020 stated that there was a new iron-based catalyst that has been invented to convert carbon dioxide into jet fuel. It is only a matter of time that carbon dioxide pumped to the atmosphere by planes could be sucked and used to power the same. The air travel’s footprint in carbon emissions could be tremendously curtailed, if the carbon dioxide that is released is recycled to generate fuel. As per Science News reports, Air transport contributes to about 12 percent of the entire transportation carbon-related emissions. Unlike cars, aircrafts cannot carry bigger batteries which can be run on electricity generated from wind or solar panels. The current breakthrough in the conversion of carbon dioxide to fuel involves cheap ingredients such as iron and transformed through a single s...
