Contact Us Front Page Environment South African Desert Becomes Global-Warming Lab Bijal P. Trivedi National Geographic Today August 4, 2003 About 900 miles (1,450 kilometers) northwest of Cape Town, South Africa, lies the Succulent Karoo, one of the world's most plentiful, and most threatened, desert ecosystems. Many of the plants are succulents, which store water in their stems and leaves, giving them their plump, fleshy appearance. "The greatest challenge to these plants may be a rapidly warming climate," says Guy Midgley, a plant physiologist at the National Botanical Institute (NBI) in Cape Town and lead scientist of a group that is investigating the effects of rising temperatures on the Karoo flora. The research is primarily funded by Conservation International. The Karoo has become a laboratory for the study of climate's impact on ecosystems. Midgley had seen 50-year climate models for South Africa that predicted a 25 percent drop in winter rainfall and a two-degree rise in temperatures. "I thought the predictions were so extreme that I was motivated to get in the field and look for the evidence," says Midgley.

document.write(document.title) Feedback Search Site Map back ... webteam@sita.co.za Procedures for changing geographical names. The South African Constitution mandates government and, indeed, the entire nation to take active steps to redress the injustices of the past. Among such injustices was the consistent denigration, debasement and corruption of African expressions, words, names, and especially place names, in the past. In order to ensure stability and to minimize the threat of confusion, South Africans collectively agreed that this necessary process of redress would be governed by law and would be as inclusive as possible. These procedures to be followed were written into laws that enjoyed the support of a wide range of political parties, reflecting the degree of consensus reached around the issue. The law regarding place name changes provides that any citizen, property owner or developer, organised body, government department, local authority as well as the South African Post Office is eligible to apply to have place name changed or re-confirmed. Application forms are available through the South African Geographical Names Council (SAGNC). Applicants are required to offer motivation for the change they seek and should provide supportive information, such as the origin and meaning of the proposed name; historical evidence justifying its adoption such as oral traditions, archival documents or other relevant facts that maybe required.

Video in the News SPECIAL SERIES The Genographic Project Pulse of the Planet National Geographic Channel RESOURCES (What's this?) Contact Us Front Page Oldest Jewelry? "Beads" Discovered in African Cave Hillary Mayell for National Geographic News April 15, 2004 Humans may have been wearing jewelry as far back as 75,000 years ago, about 30,000 years earlier than previously thought, if 41 shells found at Blombos Cave in South Africa prove to have been used as beads. The shells are from a tiny mollusk, Nassarius kraussianus, that lived in a nearby estuary. They have perforations and wear marks consistent with being used as beads, according to scientists excavating the middle Stone Age site. Beads are considered definitive evidence of symbolic thinking, which many scientists don't think occurred in modern humans until about 45,000 years ago. "The beads add to a growing pile of evidence that humans acquired a suite of 'modern' skills much earlier than previously thought," says archaeologist Christopher Henshilwood, director of the Blombos Cave Project. "There's more and more evidence that they could fish and hunt large mammals, and that they were making fine bone tools. When our ancestors left Africa, they were already modern, already thinking and behaving in many senses the way we do today."
