The Bengal famine of 1943 was a famine in the Bengal province of British India during World War II. Between 2.1 and 3 million people died in the famine. They died mainly of starvation, malaria, and not having the right health care.  Historians usually say that the famine was caused by policies by the British government at the time. Food prices rose because of war-related buying and became too expensive for poor people.  The region of Bengal in India suffered a devastating famine from 1940 to 1943. Some of the key reasons for this famine are: The British government denied an urgent request from Leopold Amery, the Indian secretary of state, and Archibald Wavell, the Viceroy of India, to stop exports of food from Bengal in order that it might be used for famine relief. Winston Churchill, then prime minister, dismissed these requests in a fashion that Amery regarded as "Hitler-like," by asking why, if the famine was so horrible, Gandhi had not yet died of starvation. The famine caused men to sell their farms and find work somewhere else. Families were made homeless and starving. Many had to move to cities like Calcutta to look for help.Some scholars say that small famines happen naturally but that large ones have man-made causes like war.
The green-thighed frog ("Nyctimystes brevipalmatus") is a frog from Australia. It lives near the east coast of Australia near Brisbane. The green-thighed frog is mostly brown with black stripes from its mouth to its front legs. Its thighs are light blue or green with black spots. They live near temporary bodies of water that dry up for part of the year. According to the IUCN Red List, green-thighed frogs are endangered because people cut down the forests and build roads and railroads in the places where they like to live, because of fires and pollution, and because of invasive species. Green-thighed frogs lay eggs that float together on top of the water. The tadpoles hatch within one day, stay tadpoles for 40 days and most become frogs before they are 100 days old.
