ليس كل عمليات الحمل والولادة تجري بشكل طبيعي , فبعض عمليات الولادة غريبة إلى درجة لا يمكن تصديقها
إليكم أغرب 10 قصص الولادة التي لا يمكن تصديقها “
Ninety-eight percent of Laysan albatross nests are on low-lying atolls within the Hawaiian Islands that are increasingly vulnerable to sea-level rise and storm surges. Large storms in the past few years, along with the 2011 tsunami, have destroyed tens of thousands of eggs, and many of the islands may succumb to the ocean entirely in the next 20 years. With more than a million Laysan albatrosses worldwide, it may seem as though the population is strong and there’s little need for concern, but conservationists believe a clear threat to the birds’ nesting grounds lies ahead. The seabirds spend most of their lives away from land, laying only one egg a year in familiar territory—the island or atoll where they themselves hatched.
To prevent harm to the Laysan albatross population, Pacific Rim Conservation has partnered with groups including the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the American Bird Conservancy to move eggs from the Pacific Missile Range to higher ground at the James Campbell National Wildlife Refuge. The eggs they’ve collected from the missile range hatch under wild foster parents, and the hatchlings are then moved to the refuge so that they can make an “imprint” on the higher area. The chicks are raised by hand for nearly five months, until they fledge and take to the sea for several years before returning. The team will gauge the success of its efforts then, with the biggest impacts seen in 10 to 15 years if a new colony of Laysan albatrosses is established. By settling in an area less vulnerable to the effects of climate change, Laysan albatrosses will be safer for future generations.

Cross-cultural explorer and National Geographic grantee Chris Bashinelli visited Uganda to discover how fair trade benefits local farmers. He met 76-year-old Kibwana Paulo in the Ruwenzori Mountains. Bashinelli explained, “Kibwana started selling fair-trade vanilla and as a result made enough money to start his own beekeeping business. And now that provides supplemental income, which allows him to pay off school fees for his family. He even rebuilt his home so he has a stronger roof so that the rain doesn’t come in every time it rains.”
Bashinelli seeks out cultural experiences that he wouldn’t be able to have in his hometown of Brooklyn, New York. He said, “It’s crucial for me to throw myself in uncomfortable situations, to walk in other people’s shoes around the world. Because I find the best way to understand another culture, another person, another way of life is to have a direct experience of what they’re going through.”
In Uganda, Bashinelli tried working with vanilla beans and goats, and then he had the chance to go into an apiary. He has been afraid of bees since he was stung at about the age of six. He decided going into the apiary with Paulo was a good chance to face his fear.
“When I was a little kid I remember getting stung inside of my pants … and that feeling stayed with me for the rest of my life. I thought the only way to actually overcome this fear is to walk into a beehive with millions of bees and come out alive.”
Bashinelli and his crew joined Paulo and put on beekeeper suits. He explained, “The process for getting ready to go into the bee apiary, first of all, involves not having a heart attack. Once you’ve passed that first step, it involves very simply putting on this protective bee suit to dive in full force.”
Paulo then showed them how to blow smoke from burning leaves. The smoke interrupts the bees’ defensive response and creates an opportunity for the beekeeper to open the beehive and remove the honeycombs. The honey can then be collected and taken to market.
The beekeeper’s suit wasn’t exactly a perfect solution. Bashinelli explained what it was like to be in a suit: “It’s extremely hot and difficult to move.” It protects you from being stung—everywhere except on your face. If a bee comes close enough to land on a part of the net that is touching your face, it can sting you.
Unfortunately, Bashinelli’s cameraman, Eric Kutner, and producer, Rob Tate, got stung. Bashinelli said, “Eric is six five, and the beekeeper’s suit wasn’t big enough to cover his ankles. But he wasn’t going to say no. The second the bees came out of the apiary, they surrounded his ankles and they started stinging him. I think we counted 37 bites. He was vomiting for hours and it was really scary. I didn’t get stung. If I had gotten stung, I would probably be telling you a very different story right now, which would have involved me flying back home to New York.”
After they finished their work in the apiary and had some recovery time, Bashinelli had a conversation with Paulo. Bashinelli remembered, “He said, ‘The meaning of life is to work hard. If you work hard, if you help others, you will be happy.’”
Paulo was definitely a success story in terms of using income from fair-trade markets to create a better life for his family. But it is also no small feat for him to be working every day at almost 80 years old in an area where the average life expectancy is 50 years old. Bashinelli said, “Working with Kibwana, who by almost any standard lives in poverty, if not extreme poverty, [I noticed how] he’s happy because his mind’s not focused on himself. He’s focused on his family. He’s focused on others. That’s what enables him to work hard every day, without fail.”
Despite all the screaming and craziness that happened, Paulo acknowledged Bashinelli’s work in the apiary. He laughed and said with a smile, “The reason I said you did good work is because you risked. You took a risk but you managed to do it.”
Bashinelli was quite happy that his risk worked out. “It felt amazing. It felt like this weight had been lifted off my shoulders. Now I can finally come face-to-face with a bee without running the other way.”

It’s a behavior rarely observed in the wild: two black mambas entangled in a battle. The plaited, or twisted, snakes were captured on camera by Kirstie Bowers while on safari in South Africa’s Pilanesberg National Park. The battle eventually moves from the dirt road into the bushes, out of sight of the camera.
