The Congo Basin tropical forests are home to many endemic and endangered species, and a global hotspot for forest fragmentation and loss. Yet, little has been done to document the region's rapid deforestation, assess its effects and consequences, or project future forest cover loss to aid in effective planning. Here we applied the Random Forest (RF) supervised classification algorithm in Google Earth Engine (GEE) to map and quantify decadal changes in forest cover and land use (LCLU) in the Congo Basin between 1990 and 2020.

Background: Majority of deliveries occurring in the Cameroon part of the Lake Chad basin is assisted by traditional birth attendants (TBA). The aim of the present study was to assess if training and involving TBA in community-based Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission (PMTCT) interventions can contribute in improving targeted population access to these interventions.
Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study that assessed among mothers of children aged 0-24 months the effect of training and involving TBA in PMTCT activities.

Article Synopsis
- - VegDischarge v1 is a comprehensive dataset covering over 64,000 river segments in Africa, created using a combination of the VegET agro-hydrologic model and the mizuRoute routing model for the years 2001-2021.
- - The dataset shows strong reliability in its modeling performance with statistical metrics indicating good fit at the continental level, and reveals Africa’s total average annual river discharge as approximately 3271.4 km³·year.
- - This dataset is essential for researchers and stakeholders, providing insights into water availability and variations that support effective infrastructure planning, resource management, and climate resilience strategies.

The urgent need to mitigate and adapt to climate change necessitates a comprehensive understanding of carbon cycling dynamics. Traditionally, global carbon cycle models have focused on vegetation, but recent research suggests that animals can play a significant role in carbon dynamics under some circumstances, potentially enhancing the effectiveness of nature-based solutions to mitigate climate change. However, links between animals, plants, and carbon remain unclear.
