Biodiversity taken seriously

At the beginning of my stay in Tanguiéta:

We are not living alone. There are always some “friends” with two or more legs… When I arrived in my new flat I had to clean it up. Fortunately there was a group of some 10 children who came over to help – for them it was fun to put the whole flat under water and brush everything. They found a turtle - my first friend with more the two legs - in a corner of the house. During cleaning we met quite a lot of cockroaches and spiders. Some of them we killed, others committed suicide by throwing themselves from the walls – when they fall on their back they become pray of the ants who clean everything what might be eatable. The first night a cricket found it funny to sing his ear-splitting song right beside my bed – I put her out in the court… Then came the time of the mosquitoes who liked to pass for diner – white men’s blood must be for African mosquitoes something like French kitchen in Europe. Later on, I found praying mantis, flies, frogs that greeted me in the morning from inside my backpack, mice, cats, a very small, very sweet baby chameleon and other friends in my house.
I am happy that the lions, elephants and buffalos of the park stay way they are… till now I haven’t had the opportunity to watch them but this will come one day as well…
