Taï National Park in the Ivory Coast. The fauna list is extensive, with three different types of pangolin. Still, the threatened species are amazing: "Five mammal species of the Taï National Park are on the Red List of Threatened Species: pygmy hippopotamus, olive colobus monkeys, leopards, chimpanzees, and Jentink's duiker."
Trees are amazing. Making a bridge out tree parts doesn't sound exceptional until you see this version where the tree parts are still alive: Living Root Bridge. One of the examples is the Rangthylliang 1 root bridge which is over 50 meters long. The See Also list includes the equally interesting Baubotanik and Fab Tree Hab.
The 14th century philosopher, Jean Buridan, grappled with free will and indecision. Later philosophers satirized his approach with Buridan's ass but it also is used as an understandable illustration of the concept. Its broader application can be seen in places like this piece, "US Climate Policy Caught Between Two Worlds — Are We Smarter Than Buridan’s Ass?"
Cape Verde recently got some attention. One small piece of that small country is Fogo, the volcanic island. We have learned to look closer at little places, right?
For such a small and difficult to reach island, Fogo Island has a pretty lengthy entry. You may have seen it on the 1606 Bertius map of Newfoundland or on Season 2 of Severence. The histories include Marconi and the Treaty of Utrecht.
