Do you love observing animals? If you do, I’m sure you want to visit the Serengeti National Park in Africa! Do you know what is interesting about the place?
The Serengeti is the last place in Africa where you can find large herds roaming across the grassy plains. The lions are most numerous and most handsome in Africa, according to Dr. Bernhard and Michael Grzimek – “Serengeti Shall Not Die” – May 1968. In the year 1950’s, Dr. Grzimek, a Director of the Frankfurt Zoo and Professor of Veterinary Science and his son Michael were worried that Serengeti will be used for agriculture if not controlled, after they leant how to fly a plane, they followed the migration route to know where to make the park boundary and convince the British government to make Serengeti into a National Park to protect the animals. So they succeeded!
Today, many want to visit Serengeti because of the constantly migration of animals between Serengeti and Masai Mara ecosystem. The word “Serengeti” comes from a Maasai word “Siringit” which means “endless plains”. It was extended over 5,700 square miles and supports over four million mammals and birds. This is the greatest concentration of wildlife on the planet!
Do you love site seeing or visiting beautiful places? I’m sure you want to visit the beautiful steep-sided canyon of Colorado. For sure you like to know some details and interesting information in this regard. So here are some appealing things that everyone should not miss, here are follows;
The Grand Canyon (meaning “Ongtupqa” in Hopi language) was carved by the Colorado River in the United States in the state of Arizona. Nearly two billion years of the Earth’s geological history have been exposed as the Colorado River and its streams cut their channels through layer after layer of rock while the Colorado Plateau was lifted and it continued to erode and form the canyon to the point we see it at today. The preservation of the Grand Canyon was the major proponent of President Theodore Roosevelt who visited the place on numerous occasions to hunt and enjoy the scenery.
It is 277 miles (446 km) long, up to 18 miles (29 km) wide and attains a depth of over a mile (1.83 km or 6000 feet).
The beauty of the Grand Canyon is really interesting! Everyone who visits the place will be fascinated and will be inspired to the river’s carved canyon.
The Christian community in Iraq currently faces possible extinction as a result of religious persecution and ongoing national instability. Most Christians and other religious minorities in Iraq live with the daily threat of bombings, kidnappings, beheadings, vandalism, discrimination, extortion, loss of jobs and ultimately death. Christians in Iraq are terrorized from all sides—Sunni, Shiite and Kurdish extremists.
Men, women and children are not just caught in the crossfire. They are targeted by Islamic extremists because of their Christian faith. As a result of such persecution, approximately 400,000 of Iraqi Christians have fled the country since 2003. Most of those who remain in Iraq are internally displaced.
Working to turn the tide, Christian Solidarity International launched Save Iraqi Christians—a movement working to create conditions that allow displaced Christians and other non-Muslim minorities to return to their homeland and live and practice their faith in peace. With your help, Save Iraqi Christians can be a powerful catalyst to ensure that all Iraqis have the right to choose and practice their faith freely. But we can’t do this alone.
The Christians and other religious minorities in Iraq need your help today!
You can help put an end to persecution of Christians and other religious minorities in Iraq by lobbying U.S. Government leaders, educating others and generating media coverage about the crisis.
Please sign the petition below to ask the U.S. government and United Nations to help.
We are also urging Christian leaders to write letters to their local papers or denomination magazines about what is happening to Christians in Iraq.
In an effort to encourage the U.S. government to take action to secure Iraq for religious minorities and save the Iraqi Christian community from extinction, Christian Solidarity International and many others, including Rep. Frank Wolf, are leading the effort to Save Iraqi Christians.
Save Iraqi Christians is asking the U.S. government to use its power and influence to defend religious liberty in Iraq and create conditions that allow displaced Christians and other non-Muslim minorities to return to their homeland and live and worship in peace.
The United States, having powerful leverage with government leaders in Baghdad and Kurdish authorities in the north, is in a position to guarantee the survival of Iraq’s endangered Christians and other religious minorities.
We believe the U.S. government should work towards developing a secure homeland province for religious minorities and should facilitate the voluntary return and resettlement of refugees and internally displaced persons after effective security measures are taken.
If America’s Christians and other religious leaders rise to this challenge, others, including U.S. policy-makers, are bound to follow. Working to pressure U.S. policy makers to take action, Save Iraqi Christians is urging America’s Christian leaders to get involved.
