We know we’ve been very HOLIDAYS! with jazz hands and glitter lately, but we just want to remind you that we have a fantastic new selection of African Art and Artifacts that’s being added to on the regular. It’s a wonderful return to our roots, that we treasure. Personally, I’m captivated by this vintage Kuba Female Ancestor Altar Figure from the Democratic Republic of Congo, and with the beautiful earrings she’s wearing, she’s certainly a perfect fit for Beads of Paradise NYC. If she’s the perfect fit for your home, too, follow the link in our profile to see more photos and arrange an in-person look! #kuba #kubatribe #ancestorfigure #congo #democraticrepublicofcongo #africanart #africanartifacts #africanartcollector #femalesculpture #africansculpture #oneofakind #art #sculpture #decor #decorate #artcollector #artifacts #shop #beautiful #beadsofparadise #shopsmallbusiness #shopsmall #nyc #unionsquare (at Beads of Paradise NYC) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl4dmkzOkgf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It's September 24th, 🦍 World Gorilla Day. This worldwide celebration commemorates the day in 1967 that Dr. Dian Fossey established the Karisoke Research Center in Rwanda's Volcanoes National Park. Karisoke, which is now run by the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund, is dedicated to the study, conservation, and protection of gorillas and their habitats. Dr. Fossey was an American zoologist who lived from 1932 to 1985. She spent much of her life in Africa and became the world's leading authority on the mountain gorilla. 🎥 Hollywood turned her bestselling book, "Gorillas in the Mist," into a blockbuster film starring Sigourney Weaver as Dr. Fossey.

There are many great organizations and individuals who are dedicated to fighting for the gorilla's survival. All four subspecies of gorillas – the Cross River gorilla, Grauer’s gorilla, mountain gorilla, and western lowland gorilla – are critically endangered because of illegal poaching, civil unrest, disease, and habitat destruction.

The mountain gorilla is the most critically endangered of them all, with only around 800 left in the wild. They’re found within high-altitude mountain and bamboo forests in just two isolated groups – one in the Virunga volcanoes – spanning the borders of Rwanda, Uganda, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), and one in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in Uganda, contiguous with DRC’s Sarambwe Nature Reserve. Mountain gorillas are completely vegetarian, feeding on leaves, shoots, and stems. They live in groups of several females with their young and one dominant adult "silverback" male – easily identified by his huge size, regal demeanor, and a patch of silver hair on his back.

Each of us can make a difference to ensure a bright future for the noble gorilla. Won't you please help carry the torch for Dr. Fossey? ☮️Peace… Jamiese of Pixoplanet

Coming up to the anniversary of one of the most horrendous mass murders in human history, I present to you at long last my latest, most meaningful work Génocidaires Rwanda!:) Available in paperback and on Kindle on an Amazon nearest you! April 7, 1994 to July 15, 1994 proved to be a veritable nightmare for one hundred harrowing days in Rwanda, so this book precedes the anniversary of a momentous time. Deep-seated enmity between Tutsis and Hutus boiled over, starting from the downing of President Juvénal Habyarimana’s plane and culminating in a vicious slaughter of Tutsis, their sympathizers, and in turn Hutu perpetrators at the hands of vindictive Tutsis. Go along with the Ngabonziza family, their precocious pre-teen daughter Isaro, and their friends in this fictional journey of survival in the face of sure death from bloodthirsty Hutus bent on extermination! #rwanda #kigali #rwandan #rwandese #rwandangenocide #genocide #eastafrica #uganda #burundi #hutu #tutsi #tanzania #ethiopia #democraticrepublicofcongo #zaire #book #books #bookstagram #carltonholden #writer #writersofinstagram #historicalfiction #fiction #murder #massmurder #refugee #refugees #rwandanpatrioticfront #un https://www.instagram.com/p/CMZxukgAb0t/?igshid=1drdbcrmazaib https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08YQMC1KW/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1615731649&sr=8-2

It's October 18th, World Okapi Day. Deep in the heart of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, hidden in the dense rainforest, lives the mysterious and enigmatic okapi. In the wild, this shy, elusive creature is rarely seen by humans. When people do see an okapi for the first time (usually at a zoo), most imagine it must be related to the zebra because of its stripes, but the okapi is not related to the zebra - it's related to the giraffe, and is in fact the giraffe's only living relative.

World Okapi Day was created to celebrate this special, endangered animal and protect the Okapi Wildlife Reserve in which it lives. Despite the protected status of the reserve and its wild animals, the okapi's continued existence is threatened by habitat destruction, slash-and-burn agriculture, illegal gold mining, and bushmeat poaching. Today gives the Mbuti People who live in the reserve a chance to celebrate the hard work they've accomplished to conserve the natural environment they share with their national animal, which is so important to their culture and traditions.

Today is also a call to action for all of us all around the world. The okapi’s rainforest home is a habitat for thousands of species. It's also one of the largest land-based carbon sinks in the world, helping to mitigate climate change. What we all do can help protect this Congo Basin Rainforest. If we choose to live sustainably, we help the okapi. ☮️ Peace… Jamiese of Pixoplanet

196 recipes: #84 Demokratische Republik Kongo

Demokratische Republik Kongo und Republik Kongo, die wir im letzten Beitrag “besucht“ haben, teilen sich eigentlich die gleichen traditionellen Gerichte. Diesmal haben wir uns für ein Fischgericht entschieden, Maboke - Fischfielet in Bananenblättern im Backofen gedünstet. Das Originalrezept findet ihr hier.

Ich nahm: 4 St. Viktoriabarschfilet 4 St. Bananeblätter (findet man in Asialäden) 1 Zwiebel 3 Knoblauchzehen Etwas frischer Chilipfeffer, entsamt und kleingeschnitten Etwas Petersile Kleine Tomaten aus der Dose Salz 1. Zwiebel, Knoblauch und Chilipfeffer fein schneiden, vermischen, salzen. 2. Etwas Zwiebel-Mix auf jedes Bananenblatt drauf legen, darauf das Fischfilet. 3. Auf jedes Fischfilet noch etwas Zwiebel-Mix und ein paar kleine Tomaten (oder Tomatenstücke, man kann auch frische Tomaten nehmen) darauf legen. 4. Das Bananenblatt schliessen und mit einem Stück Küchengarn zusammenbinden. 5. Im vorgeheizten Backofen bei 200 Gramm 25 Minuten dünsten. Dabei werden die Bananenblätter aufs Gitter gelegt und darunter stellt man ein Backblech, gefüllt mit kochendem Wasser. Das war nicht besonders exotisch, aber sehr lecker! Und das nächste Mal kochen wir koreanisch, zuerst geht es nach Nordkorea, dann nach Südkorea. Es bleibt spannend!

Thousands of people who fled to Uganda have decided to return, despite sporadic violence in parts of eastern DR Congo. Others have chosen to stay because they are uncertain about the future.Armed groups and the Congolese armed forces clashed in early November, prompting asylum seekers to escape to Uganda
