On a cool morning,Wilson Kasaine heads out along a dirt path in southern Kenya.His calmn
ess makes it easy to forget that he’s tracking one of the most dangerous animals in the world.Kasaine is tracking lions—especially one lion called Marti,who is the real-life Lion King of Selenkay Conrvancy.
Tracking lions on foot may sound like a death wish,but Kasaine has been doing it for most of his life.Born into a traditional Maasai family he quickly grew to understand the beauty and danger of wildlife.Living with big wild animals forces him to develop a good n of where they have been and where they may be going.During his 12-kilometer walks to and from school,he learned how to tell the paw prints (爪印)of a lion from tho of other animals.
Growing up,Kasaine knew that improving his tracking abilities would help him avoid surpri meetings with dangerous animals.For many Maasai,tracking is mainly a matter of lf-protection.But Kasaine is tracking lions to meet them and to protect them.He leads a small group of wide-eyed tourists over the red sandy path,arching for the lion that has left upon it his prints.
Each year,thousands of tourists crowd Kenya’s national parks to try to have a look at the “big five”:elephants,rhinoceros,leopards,buffaloes and lions.The international draw of the animals matters a lot becau the nation’s economy is tied to the protection of its wildlife.If Kenya’s wildlife disappears,so does its cond-largest source of income.
Wildlife protection efforts in Kenya meant marking off land exclusively(专门地)for animals.But it also meant that the people who had originally lived in the area were forced to leave their land and into smaller surrounding areas.They are also finding it increasingly hard to keep a traditional Maasai lifestyle.But people are glad that it really makes a difference to wildlife protection.

In the bament of a landmark 27-story tower in Stockholm,Petterson is hoping to sow the eds of an indoor urban farming revolution.He is the chief executive of Plantagon,a new urban farming factory t to kick off operations in the bament of an office block in the Swedish capital.
He is by no means the first enthusiast for indoor farming,which has become increasingly fashionable in recent years.Claims for the practice of growing food in baments range from feeding people in dert environments to transforming the negative environmental effects of monoculture farming.advancepayment
Plantagon’s early promis reflect this new optimism.Petterson calls the farm’s approach
“agritechture”:the combination of agriculture,technology and architecture hoping to revolutionize how we live and eat.
The term may be new,but the concept isn’t.Indoor farming is made possible by agricultural technologies such as hydroponics(growing plants without soil) and aeroponics(in which plants are grown in air over containers).Food can be produced without direct sunlight or soil.
Plantagon plans to grow high-value foods in a pumice-like material rather than soil.Water for the plants is measured precily.It will also dehumidify(除湿) the air and reu any extra water to ensure zero waste.Compared with conventional agriculture,it will need much less water to produce the same amount of crops.
