Today is #WorldEnvironmentDay. Although Africa is the continent least responsible for the climate crisis, it is the one most affected. Local Indigenous knowledge can provide solutions. Below are Indigenous wells in El Hadi, Kenya, central to the resilience of pastoral communities

The ancient sound of the Roman cornu - a horn used for signalling troop movements and announcing the presence of the emperor in military and civilian settings. Each legion had 36 cornu players, as well as other trumpet and horn players. Imagine the noise!
