Heterixalus alboguttatus
Heterixalus alboguttatus (also known as the Starry Night Reed Frog) is a species of reed frog in the family Hyperoliidae endemic to Madagascar. Females possess a characteristic yellow-spotted dorsal patterning, while males can be almost uniformly white. It forms a species complex with H. boettgeri and H. madagascariensis, and is known to hybridize with H. boettgeri.

H. alboguttatus is generally found in open habitats, such as savannahs, degraded forest, swamps, grasslands and ricefields. Since these habitats are generally expanding in Madagascar due to human activity, it is not considered threatened.

Females of the species reach a snout-vent length of about 30-33mm, and the H. alboguttatus species breeds in a range of temporary and permanent water bodies, such as those found in the rice fields where the species may makes its habitat, with females producing around 500 black and white eggs, often perching on sunlit leaves of Pandanus plants and other plants during the breeding period.

La Bocayna
La Bocayna or La Bocaina (Spanish: Estrecho de la Bocaina) is a sea strait that separates Lanzarote from Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands. The island of Lobos is situated on the southern side of the strait, close to Fuerteventura.

In the 19th century, the strait was known as a safe anchorage with a sandy bottom, which shelved gradually towards Lanzarote with depths of up to five fathoms. The shore around Lobos was less hospitable, being ‘foul and rocky’. A steady trade wind could be found in the strait, although it was blocked by the hills of Lanzarote, becalming ships that were in their lee, tacking  towards Lobos was needed to regain the wind.

Large breakers were observed by one ship’s captain, produced by a heavy westerly swell. Waves up to 18 metres (60 ft) high were seen breaking on the northern point of Lobos, the sound of the waves could be heard up to six or seven leagues away.

Desertification and land restoration rate in Ghana
The majority of Ghana's income and jobs are produced directly and indirectly by the land, which is a vital resource for our nation's prosperity. It sustains the provision of ecosystem services as well as the agricultural, forestry, and fishing livelihoods of the vast majority of people, particularly those living in rural areas. Despite these advantages, there are a number of temporal and spatial factors contributing to the degradation of our land resources, such as deforestation, erosion, declining soil fertility and productivity, deterioration of rangelands, desertification, and deterioration of water bodies (quantity and quality).

Ghana's drylands in the northern Sudanese and Guinea savannah regions are especially at risk from erosion; in these areas, land deterioration is known as "desertification." The risk of desertification is present on about 35% of Ghana's land. An estimated $1.4 billion, or 6% of Ghana's GDP, is lost to land degradation each year in the country.
