Afrika ist ein vielsprachiger Kontinent und viele Erwachsene sprechen etliche Sprachen fließend. Eine Studie eines Forschungsteams um die Potsdamer Psycholinguisten Natalie Boll-Avetisyan und Paul O. Omane zeigt, dass die Wurzeln dafür bereits im Babyalter liegen: https://www.uni-potsdam.de/de/medieninformationen/detail/2025-02-26-wie-viele-sprachen-kann-man-gleichzeitig-lernen-ghanaische-babys-zwei-bis-sechs-sprachen
A new study highlights several low-cost, low-tech solutions that support natural pollination, building climate change resilience and increasing cacao yields up to 20%.
Those methods include upping amounts of leaf litter to improve insect pollinator propagation, increasing the density of cacao tree plantings, utilizing taller native shade trees and limiting agrochemical use.

The West African sub-region is a major hotspot for climate change research due to its significant land-atmospheric and ocean-atmosphere interactions12,13,14. This region has been highlighted as particularly vulnerable to climate change impacts, making it crucial to understand its unique climatic dynamics15. West Africa is pivotal in smoothly regulating the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), essential for maintaining global climate stability
When Ghanaian photojournalist Paul Ninson came to study in New York five years ago, he found images of life in Africa in libraries, galleries and museums across the city. That gave him the idea to create a library of photo books in Ghana to help people learn their own stories. He established the Dikan Center in Accra, which celebrated its second anniversary a few weeks ago and now has more than 30,000 volumes. @npr talked to him about his motivation and how he got into photography.
