Undiscovered Amazonian Tribe
30/05/2008 by Chris Prettejohn.
As we send back images from the recent Mars Lander it still amazes me that there is so much to uncover on our own planet. According to Survival International there are up to a 100 undiscovered tribes in the world with over half in he Brazilian rainforest. This is a prime example where the BBC reports an undiscovered Amazonian Tribe. An aircraft took several images of the tribe who were clearly perturbed by the presence of this outsider, firing their arrows at it. The BBC attempted to decipher the images of the Maloca which is the central meeting place.

Why was the Cyclone in Burma so deadly?
12/05/2008 by Chris Prettejohn.
The National Geographic has a good article explaining the causes of Cyclone Nargisand why it was Burma's wost natural hazard ever. One of the main reasons for it to have such a catastophic effect was the removal of mangrove swamps to be replaced with shrimp farms and rice paddies. The mangrove swamps are one of nature's bes defenses against violent storms.
