Oct 3, 2024 · Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo— Bila-Isia Inogwabini strides up and down between rickety wooden desks in a small classroom here, offering good-natured criticism to his clutch of graduate students.
Oct 30, 2019 · Several African cities have become veritable urban giants. Lagos and Cairo are each home to more than 20 million people, while others like Kinshasa, Luanda, and Dar es Salaam continue to grow at breakneck speed.
Africa’s largest city, Kinshasa, is making resilience to climate change a top priority. The $500 million Kin Elenda project will improve access to infrastructure and services and socio-economic opportunities for people in Kinshasa.

Our results demonstrated that the majority of primates are affected by more than 7 major threat types, with some, such as cercopithecines and colobines, facing 10 and 11 major threats, respectively. This highlights the need for varied and robust evidence-based conservation actions. The Conservation Evidence working group (www.conservationevidence.c...
Primate conservation needs a greater focus on the creation of new protected areas and on improving enforcement of current protected areas to safeguard preferred habitats, reduce habitat fragmentation and prevent illegal hunting and collection of primates. There is evidence that that improving enforcement of protected areas is more effective than mo...
As the majority of primates live outside protected areas, the conservation community and primate range states must put considerable effort into effectively supporting the sustainable use of natural resources for communities living alongside primate populations, as well as alternative livelihoods and codeveloping strategies to improve human–primate ...
While agriculture is a major threat affecting all primate regions, its impact in Madagascar is the largest. This may be a product of the underdevelopment of Madagascar and the level of poverty, where 75% of the population was estimated to live below the international poverty line (World Bank, 2019). In general, conservation granting bodies tend to ...
Our model determined that the threat of Human Intrusion & Disturbance (such as civil unrest), Agriculture, and Climate Change & Severe Weather had the largest impact on determining a species conservation status. Region also had an impact in the model, as a species from Madagascar or Asia is almost 5 or 3 times more likely to be considered at higher...
Although these results seem promising for a predictive model to help with classifying poorly known species, the predictive power of the model was only 41.2%, which may mean more factors need to be considered or that other key factors may be more accurate predictors of conservation status (e.g., current area of occupancy, or key life history traits)...
Another potential limitation of the IUCN Red List assessment system was highlighted when we compared threats identified in the Red List with those in recent literature. Climate change was a key factor in our model predicting a higher conservation status among primates on the Red List. However, in our analysis of the threats facing primates using IU...
In Germany, Munich (city proper population ca 1.5 million, with surrounding Landkreise ~3 million) is the primate city of the state of Bavaria, having nearly three times the population than the state's second largest, Nuremberg (ca 500,000 people, metro area ~1.35 million).
Congo has become synonymous with war, rebellion and poverty, but its capital is 3,500 kilometres away from the war in eastern Congo – the same distance as from Amsterdam to Cairo. A new chapter is clearly dawning in the history of Kinshasa. One that will be all about progress, growth – and fashion.

Kinshasa is an ever-challenging city. The failure of State and sickening corruption now common at all levels of politics, social and economic life have forced Kinshasans to invent a parallel reality to ensure they live to see another day.
