More than 700 animals, including Hippos and Elephants, Will be Killed in Namibia, to distributed the meat

-

As the nation struggles with its worst drought in a century, Namibia plans to kill more than 700 wild animals, including hippos, zebras, and elephants, and give the meat to those experiencing food poverty.

The nation's Ministry of Environment, Forestry, and Tourism declared on Monday that 83 elephants, 30 hippos, 60 buffalo, 50 impala, 100 blue wildebeest, and 300 zebras would be put to death.

According to a press statement from the ministry, they will come from public regions and national parks with "sustainable game numbers" and will be slain by skilled hunters.

The ministry stated that the program's objective is to lessen the effects of the drought in the nation of southwest Africa.
In May, as the effects of the drought deepened, Namibia proclaimed a state of emergency. Acute food insecurity is predicted to affect 1.4 million individuals, or nearly half of the population.

According to the government, the culling effort will reduce wildlife in regions where their numbers "exceed available grazing and water," so relieving pressure on water supplies.

Additionally, it seeks to lessen the possibility of elephants and humans getting into conflict, which can arise during droughts when animals may come into touch with humans in their quest for food and water.

In light of this, the ministry said that 83 elephants from designated conflict zones will be put down and their flesh would go toward the drought relief effort.

Elephants have a stronghold in Southern Africa, where there are over 200,000 of them. Drought has also had a bad impact on these creatures; it is thought that hundreds of them perished in the area last year as a result of their water supplies drying up.

The ministry said that individuals who are hungry will also receive meat from other animals that are scheduled for slaughter, with rural residents being disproportionately impacted.

According to the ministry, over 150 animals have already been killed, yielding over 125,000 pounds of meat.

   
Namibia is among the several nations in southern Africa experiencing a severe drought that is being made worse by the human-induced climate crisis and is being caused by El Niño, a natural climatic trend that has resulted in much less rainfall in the area.

Tens of millions of people in the region are experiencing extreme hunger as a result of shrunken crops and a lack of rain paired with scorching weather.

Ozempic Weight-loss drugs to Slow Down Ageing Process, scientists suggest

-

Drugs for weight loss have the potential to completely transform healthcare by delaying the aging process and extending life expectancy and quality of life. Leading scientists have made this stark statement in response to research that were presented at the European Society of Cardiology Conference in London last week. Studies have already shown that semaglutide , which is marketed under the names Ozempic and Wegovy , lowers the risk of death in patients with cardiovascular disease who are overweight or obese. However, more recent research has shown that Ozempic has effects that go beyond what was once thought to be possible for the medication. Researchers found that those who took the medication died at a decreased rate from all causes, not just cardiovascular ones. "Semaglutide has far-reaching benefits beyond what we initially imagined," Yale School of Medicine Professor Harlan Krumholz stated. It goes beyond just preventing heart attacks. They are advocates for ...

A newly developed weight-loss drug can be the next big thing in medicine or the biggest health danger.

-

The introduction of GLP-1 agonists , a family of drugs that were first created to treat type 2 diabetes but have now achieved unheard-of popularity due to their effectiveness in helping patients lose weight , is one example of such innovation. Some medications, like semaglutide , have drawn notice for their capacity to assist patients in losing large quantities of weight, enhancing blood sugar regulation , and lowering their risk of cardiovascular disease. The quick spread of these drugs, despite their evident advantages, raises questions about long-term effects, dependency, and the wider ramifications for our relationship with food and health. GLP-1 agonists function by imitating the actions of glucagon-like peptide-1, a hormone that slows stomach emptying, raises insulin production, and lowers glucagon release. As a result, these drugs have a remarkable ability to lower hunger , induce satiety , and improve glycemic control , all of which contribute to weight loss and the manag...
