Of Kong's and kremlins.

I think i I may have met two incredibly stupid entities today.

Cranky Kong and King K Rool.

I swear I think I might have also seen Nora today.

Let me start from the beginning.

After being warped onto the Congo bongo peninsula's Beach. I had to do a platforming challenge based on using honey in order to patch up a set of bridges.

Then I ended up getting captured by Captain Skurvy. CAPTAIN of the Kremlin Krew.

He was planning a heist to steal the Crystal Coconut.

Apparently it's been in his family since his ancestor got it from the god Inka Dinka doo

They would let me go if I would help them get into the secret banana stash where the coconut was being held.

Tomorrow would be the prime opportunity since defense would be at the wrestling match.

Truth be told. The whole Kong versus kremmling thing is less of a political dispute and more of a family rivalry between the Kong family (not Kong species) and the kremmling Royal family.

It's kind of gone to the point where they have chimps, kremlins, and apes on both sides.

It's kind of crappy. Like Hatfields and McCoys or Montague's and Capulets.

Really dumb ain't it.

So if they were going to let me go. I had to drop in and create a big distraction.

I found a large coconut tree with a treehouse inside of it. It was right on top of the arena.

I was hanging out there waiting for it to begin. When of all people showed up.

NORA!!!

I don't know how in the underwear she got here. I could probably guess on why she's here but not how she got here.

I tried to chase her. But she actually caught the feet of a Squawks.

I don't know where the Underwhere she is now but it's far away from the Congo Bongo Peninsula.

Now where was I.

I ended up causing a distraction by explaining to them that this entire feud is stupid. I can't really remember what I said I was just kind of angry about the whole situation. But everyone seem to be dazed or something.

I ended up just sort of walking out. No one really cared that a human just fell out of the sky and told them that a tradition sucks.

I met up with Captain Skurvy. It turns out that there was no Crystal Coconut as it was being taken to be polished for a museum exhibit in a few months. They ended up just sort of stealing a bunch of bananas. Something you can just get off the trees. You can like buy a bunch just for a gold coin.

Surprisingly there was also a warp orbital there. So I got that.

I don't think I'll be coming back to the island for a while.

I'm just kind of frustrated.

There's an old game called Congo Bongo and the music in the first level sounds so much like the tribal shy guys in Yoshi's Island, I wonder if someone at Nintendo was inspired by it

"Nouabalé-Ndoki National Park in Brazzaville, Republic of Congo has a lot to celebrate.

The park, which celebrated its 30th anniversary on December 31 of 2023, also shared an exciting conservation milestone: 2023 was the first year without any elephant poaching detected.

“We didn’t detect any elephants killed in the Park this year, a first for the Park since [we] began collecting data. This success comes after nearly a decade of concerted efforts to protect forest elephants from armed poaching in the Park,” Ben Evans, the Park’s management unit director, said in a press release.

Nouabalé-Ndoki National Park was developed by the government of Congo in 1993 to maintain biodiversity conservation in the region, and since 2014, has been cared for through a public-private partnership between Congo’s Ministry of Forest Economy and the Wildlife Conservation Society.

Evans credits the ongoing collaboration with this milestone, as the MEF and WCS have helped address escalating threats to wildlife in the region. 

This specifically includes investments in the ranger force, which has increased training and self-defense capabilities, making the force more effective in upholding the law — and the rights of humans and animals.

“Thanks to the strengthening of our anti-poaching teams and new communication technologies, we have been able to reduce poaching considerably,” Max Mviri, a park warden for the Congolese government, said in a video for the Park’s anniversary. 

“Today, we have more than 90 eco-guards, all of whom have received extensive training and undergo refresher courses,” Mviri continued. “What makes a difference is that 90% of our eco-guards come from villages close to the Park. This gives them extra motivation, as they are protecting their forest.”

As other threats such as logging and road infrastructure development impact the area’s wildlife, the Park’s partnerships with local communities and Indigenous populations in the neighboring villages of Bomassa and Makao are increasingly vital.

“We’ve seen great changes, great progress. We’ve seen the abundance of elephants, large mammals in the village,” Gabriel Mobolambi, chief of Bomassa village, said in the same video. “And also on our side, we benefit from conservation.”

Coinciding with the Park’s anniversary is the roll-out of a tourism-focused website, aiming to generate 15% of its revenue from visitors, which contributes significantly to the local economy...

Nouabalé-Ndoki also recently became the world’s first certified Gorilla Friendly National Park, ensuring best practices are in place for all gorilla-related operations, from tourism to research.

But gorillas and elephants — of which there are over 2,000 and 3,000, respectively — aren’t the only species visitors can admire in the 4,334-square-kilometer protected area.

The Park is also home to large populations of mammals such as chimpanzees and bongos, as well as a diverse range of reptiles, birds, and insects. For the flora fans, Nouabalé-Ndoki also boasts a century-old mahogany tree, and a massive forest of large-diameter trees.

Beyond the beauty of the Park, these tourism opportunities pave the way for major developments for local communities.

“The Park has created long-term jobs, which are rare in the region, and has brought substantial benefits to neighboring communities. Tourism is also emerging as a promising avenue for economic growth,” Mobolambi, the chief of Bomassa village, said in a press release.

The Park and its partners also work to provide education, health centers, agricultural opportunities, and access to clean water, as well, helping to create a safe environment for the people who share the land with these protected animals. 

In fact, the Makao and Bomassa health centers receive up to 250 patients a month, and Nouabalé-Ndoki provides continuous access to primary education for nearly 300 students in neighboring villages. 

It is this intersectional approach that maintains a mutual respect between humans and wildlife and encourages the investment in conservation programs, which lead to successes like 2023’s poaching-free milestone...

Evans, of the Park’s management, added in the anniversary video: “Thanks to the trust that has been built up between all those involved in conservation, we know that Nouabalé-Ndoki will remain a crucial refuge for wildlife for the generations to come.”"
