Last update: 23 minutes agoBiodiversity & Data Access: A new push highlights how African herbaria—especially across the western Indian Ocean islands including the Comoros—still keep centuries of pressed plant records locked away in cabinets, with digitisation needed so researchers and policymakers can use the data for conservation and evidence-based decisions.

Trade & Connectivity: A report argues island communities, like Comoros, feel the cost of shipping delays directly—disrupting access to essentials—so maritime investment must be planned around everyday needs. Global Poverty Rankings: Nigeria was ranked 56th among the world’s 60 poorest countries in a 2026 GDP-PPP per capita list, with most of the bottom countries in Africa.
