Gracixalus sapaensis

The **Sapa bush frog** (_Gracixalus sapaensis_) is a frog.  It lives in Vietnam. Scientists think it could live in China too. People have seen it between 1250 and 2362 meters above sea level.

This frog lives in the Fan Si Pan mountains, in forests and in places with smaller plants. People sometimes see it on farms. The frog sits on plants about 2 m above the ground.

Scientists believe this frog is in danger of dying out because it lives in such a small place. One of the places this frog lives is a protected park: Hoang Lien Son National Park. Human beings change the places where the frog lives to build farms and things for visitors. Climate change may kill this frog. Because it lives high on mountains, it cannot move north to colder places if the area becomes hotter. It would have to climb down the mountain to warmer places first.

Scientists used to think this was the same frog as _Gracixalus carinensis_, but in 2017, they decided they were two different species of frog.

Scientists named this frog "Sa Pa" after the place where it lives.
Bakassi conflict

The Bakassi Peninsula lies along the Gulf of Guinea. The Bakassi conflict between Nigeria and Cameroon for many years. In 2002, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) decided that Cameroon should have control over the peninsula, which made some Nigerian residents unhappy. This led to fighting between the two countries, and Nigeria even threatened to use military force in 2013. The situation became more complicated when Bakassi was given to Cameroon, because many Nigerians did not have the right documents to prove their identity. Since Bakassi was given to Cameroon, the government has been accused of treating local Nigerians badly. Many Nigerians have had to leave the peninsula for safety reasons, and some have become stateless because they do not have the right documents to prove who they are. While most groups that wanted independence have stopped fighting, some people in Bakassi are still unhappy with how things are going. There are still tensions between Nigeria and Cameroon, and it is unclear how the conflict will be resolved. In conclusion, the situation in Bakassi is complicated and has caused a lot of problems for people living in the area. The conflict between Nigeria and Cameroon is still ongoing, and the situation is not clear. While some groups have stopped fighting, there are still people who are unhappy with how things are going, and tensions remain high.

Bhava Brihaspati

**Bhava Brihaspati** was a 12th-century Kanyakubja Brahmin ascetic of Pashupata sect of Hinduism. He was the teacher of Paramara kings of Malwa and Chaulukya king Jayasimha Siddharaja.

Born into city of Varanasi, he left his home and migrated to Malwa and temporarily resided in Dhara and in Ujjain. There he superintended the Shaiva monasteries, gained certain Paramara chieftains for the Shaiva faith and wrote a textbook on explaining about doctrines of Pashupata Shaivism.

After a time, Brihaspati exhorted Chaulukya ruler Kumarapala to restore the decayed Somnath temple. The king readily agreed, made Brihaspati the lord of all Shaiva temple-priests in his dominions, bestowed presents of ornaments, two elephants and pearl-necklaces and entrusted to him the governorship of Somnathpattan.

## _Somnathpattan Prashasti_ inscription

The object of this inscription from the 12th century at Somnath temple is to celebrate the virtues of the Bhava Brihaspati and to hand down to posterity a record of his great deeds. The poet boldly asserts that Brihaspati was an incarnation of Shiva's attendant Nandishwara, who assumed a mortal body in order to insure the restoration of the god's sanctuary at Somnathpattan.

the 9th paragraph of the inscription states:
> That man [Bhava Brihaspati] of saintly disposition, being reminded by Shambhu of the cause of his descent into the world, turned his mind towards [the accomplishment of] its object, the renovation of the (sacred) locality. Even on that same day illustrious Siddharaja, joining his hands in supplication, bestowed on him out of great regard an unequalled greatness and honour.

A later inscription, referring to Bhava Brihaspati, states:> Lord Shiva, observing that dharma was disappearing under the rule of bad kings in the Kaliyuga, decided that his abode should be repaired. Shiva reincarnated a part of himself and took birth as Bhava Brihaspati in the family of a Kanyakubja Brahmin.

Gracixalus jinggangensis

The **Jinggang tree frog** (_Gracixalus jinggangensis_) is a frog.  It lives in China, on Mount Jinggan in Jiangxi Province.

The adult male frog is 27.9-33.8 mm long from nose to rear end and at least one female frog was 31.6 mm long. The skin of the frog's back, head, and the tops of the legs has spikes on it.  The is a mark in the shape of the letter Y that goes from between the eyes to the middle of the back.

This frog lives in bamboo forests on mountains. People have seen this frog between 1100 and 1340 meters above sea level. This frog can only live in forests. The female frog lays eggs in holes in bamboo plants that have water in them.

Scientists say this frog is in a large danger of dying out because it lives in such a small place and human beings change that place in ways that make it harder for the frog to live there.  For example, human beings take away bamboo to use. Scientists think taking some bamboo might not hurt the frog but people must not take too much bamboo. This frog lives in at least one protected park: Taoyuandong National Nature Reserve.
