MTO KONGO (CONGO RIVER) NA SIFA ZAKE Afrika ni moja kati ya bara ambalo limebarikiwa sana kuwa na vivutio vya aina mbalimbali. Moja kati ya vivutio hivyo ni Mto Kongo. Mto Kongo (Congo River) ni mto wa pili kwa ukubwa barani Afrika baada ya Mto Nile (Nile River), lakini pia ni mto wa tisa kwa ukubwa duniani. Vyanzo vikuu vya Mto Kongo ni Milima na Nyanda za Juu za Bonde la Ufa la Afrika Mashariki (East Africa Rift Valley), Ziwa Tanganyika (Lake Tanganyika) na Ziwa Mweru (ndio chanzo cha mto Lualaba).                    FAHAMU SIFA ZA KIPEKEE KUHUSU MTO KONGO (CONGO RIVER) Mto wa pili kwa ukubwa barani Afrika baada ya Mto Nile (Nile River). Mto wa pili duniani kwa kupeleka kiasi kikubwa cha maji baharini baada ya Mto Amazon wa Amerika ya Kusini (South America). Mto Kongo ndio mto wenye kina kirefu zaidi duniani, unakadiriwa kuwa na kina zaidi ya 230 mita. Jina la Mto limetokana na ufalme wa Kongo (Ancient Congo Kingdom) wa hapo zamani, ufalme huo ulikuwepo maeneo ya kar

KIHANSI SPRAY TOADS Taxonomy  👉 Kingdom⟹ Animalia 👉Phylum  ⟹ Chordata 👉Class      ⟹ Amphibia 👉Order     ⟹ Anura 👉Family   ⟹ Bufonidae Vyura wa kihansi kwa jina la kisayansi wanajulikana kama " Nectophrynoides asperginis " ni aina ya vyura wa dogo ambao wanapitikana Tanzania   tu, katika mkoa wa Iringa kwenye bonde la mto Kihansi na chakula chao ni wadudu (insectivorus). IUCN (International Union For Conservation of Nature) walifanya utafiti na kugundua kuwa vyura wa kihansi wapo kwenye hatari kubwa ya kutoweka (Extinct in the wild). Awali uharibifu wa makazi yao ya asili uliotokana na utengenezaji wa bwawa la Kihansi kwa ajili ya kuzalisha umeme ulionza mwaka 1995 na kukamilika mwaka 2000 na kupelekea kupungua kwa kiasi kikubwa cha maji kwa asilimia 90 ambacho kilikua kinatiririka kutoka kwenye maporomoka ya bonde la mto kihansi. Lakini taarifa nyingine za waatalamu zinataja kuwa sababu za kutoweka kwao huenda zilisababishwa na utumiaji wa mb

MANGROVE TREES "(MIKOKO)" Mangrove trees live along shores, rivers and estuaries in the tropics and subtropics. Mangroves are remarkably tough due to live on muddy soil but sometimes also grow on peat, coral rock and sand. They live in water up to 100 times saltier than most other plants can tolerate. Mangroves trees (mikoko) is capable of capture carbon, filter salt water, stop strong waves from ocean and provide fish breeding site. Mangrove trees in Tanzania its found alongside the coastal areas (shores) from Mtwara to Tanga and around Unguja, Pemba and Mafia Islands, but human activities such as charcoal making in the coastal areas lead destruction and disappearance of Mangrove vegetation along the shore of Tanzania.                             MITI YA MIKOKO   Mikoko ni aina ya miti ambayo inapatikana pembezoni mwa bahari ya hindi kuanzia pwani ya Mtwara mpaka Tanga na kuzunguka pwani ya Unguja, Pemba na Mafia katika nchi ya Tanzania. Mikoko ni mit
