Cameroon — At the Sanaga-Yong Chimpanzee Rescue Center, more than a dozen residents form a gallery of grief, looking on as Dorothy — a beloved female felled in her late 40s by heart failure — is borne to her burial.
Each month, National Geographic magazine features breathtaking photographs in Visions of Earth. Browse through visions of the world as seen through a photographer’s eye.

Tao of Physics by Fritjof Capra – Knowledge ‘out there’ since over 30 years
I just found this book again in a used bookshop and, in case you did not read into it, yet, I recommend it highly…What also struck me was that it was first published in 1975. – My deepest respect to Fritjof Capra (http://www.fritjofcapra.net/).
This is from Chapter 2 Knowing and Seeing:
…The natural world, on the other hand, is one of infinite varieties and complexities, a multidimensional world which contains no straight lines or completely regular shapes, where things do not happen in sequences, but all together; a world where—as modern physics tells us—even empty space is curved. It is clear that our abstract system of conceptual thinking can never describe or understand this reality completely. In thinking about the world we are faced with the same kind of problem as the cartographer who tries to cover the curved face of the Earth with a sequence of plane maps. We can only expect an approximate representation of reality from such a procedure, and all rational knowledge is therefore necessarily limited.
Reflections
What if the world embodied our highest potential? What would it look like? As the structures of modern society crumble, is it enough to respond with the same tired solutions? Or are we being called to question a set of unexamined assumptions that form the very basis of our civilization?
This 25-minute retrospective asks us to reflect on the state of the world and ourselves, and to listen more closely to what is being asked of us at this time of unprecedented global transformation.

The Fate of The Last Tree
The story goes…:
The Ténéré wastelands of northeastern Niger were once populated by a forest of trees. By the 20th century, desertification had wiped out all but one solitary acacia. The Tree of Ténéré, as it came to be called, had no companions for 400 km in every direction. Its roots reached nearly 40 m deep into the sand.
When Michel Lesourd of the Central Service of Saharan Affairs first came upon the tree in 1939, he wrote: “One must see the Tree to believe its existence. What is its secret? How can it still be living in spite of the multitudes of camels which trample at its sides? How at each azalai does not a lost camel eat its leaves and thorns? Why don’t the numerous Touareg leading the salt caravans cut its branches to make fires to brew their tea? The only answer is that the tree is taboo and considered as such by the caravaniers. There is a kind of superstition, a tribal order which is always respected. Each year the azalai gather round the Tree before facing the crossing of the Ténéré. The Acacia has become a living lighthouse; it is the first or the last landmark for the azalai leaving Agadez for Bilma, or returning.”
In 1973, the tree was knocked over by a drunken Libyan truck driver. It has been replaced by a simple metal sculpture. The dead tree is now kept in the Niger National Museum in Niamey.
‘American Advocacy Filmmaking’: The Cove
I think I will post Derrick Jensen’s questions again. The way I feel now, I think I will do this at the beginning of every post. – I mean, this blog is called Sound Of Sirens, isn’t it:
Do you believe that this culture is going to undergo a voluntary transformation to a sane and sustainable way of living?
What if you live in the most destructive culture ever to exist?
What if that culture refuses to change?
What do you do about it?
‘When he was on trial for his life in Jerusalem part of Adolf Eichmanns defense was that nobody had ever told him that what he was doing is wrong…’
So let’s have a look at The Cove….
‘The Cove is a documentary that tells the story of an elite team of activists, filmmakers and free-divers who embark on a covert mission to penetrate a specific cove in Taiji, Japan, where approximately 23,000 dolphins are killed every year. Former dolphin trainer Ric O’ Barry, the man who captured and trained the first five dolphins who played Flipper in the international television sensation, attempts to stop the deadly cycle he helped create.
Throughout the movie O’ Barry seeks redemption and tries to take down the multi-billion dollar dolphin entertainment industry with the help of filmmaker Louis Psihoyos (read interview) and the Oceanic Preservation Society.’ (from review by Mali Elfman for www.screencrave.com)
The Cove opened in theaters in NY and Los Angeles on July 31st 2009.
Derrick Jensen
I already posted something on him, but I thought you might just enjoy a talk…

Do you believe that this culture is going to undergo a voluntary transformation to a sane and sustainable way of living?
What if you live in the most destructive culture ever to exist?
What if that culture refuses to change?
What do you do about it?
‘When he was on trial for his life in Jerusalem part of Adolf Eichmanns defense was that nobody had ever told him that what he was doing is wrong…’
These are questions and a statement by Derrick Jensen, author of Endgame, The Culture of Make Believe, and A Language Older than Words.
Personally I suggest: Read Endgame II – it will clarify your point of view or make you realize that you had none.
http://www.derrickjensen.org – info, his books…
