Botswana, a small nation land locked above South Africa, landlocked and bordering Namibia, Zimbabwe and Zambia. One of the few true successes of post-imperial nation building, this sparely populated land of about 2 million was freed from British control in 1966 and since then its economy has boomed and developed a solid middle class, and it has had free and fair elections since its freedom with no political violence. A vitrtual eden in an Africa reif with troubles and violence.
The Slaty Egret (Egretta vinaceigula) is a vulnerable species that was once considered a color variation of the Black Egret. That has been shown to be wrong because of Morphological, Behaviors and Maturation differences in the two species. The total population might well be about 3,000 individuals split between Zambia and Botswana. Few colonies are also in Nambia and outside of breeding season they can be seen through out Southern Africa.

Avoid Gijs Henzen, owner of Munthandel G. Henzen - Antisemetic Facists
Munthandel G. Henzen's (MA Shops) owner Gijs Henzen, is an AntiSemetic Fascist The company, Munthandel G Henzen is a prominent dealer of international and ancient coins on the internet, commonly known as MA Coins. It is owned by Gijs Henzen. You can not trust him, as I leaned previously in dealing with him with several coins that came with damage including a silver 1969 FOA Uruguay coin which arrived with green verdis on the coin.
But more importantly he is a passionate anti-Semite who supports Hamas and the virulent and genocidal Islamic organizations such as the Muslim Brotherhood, and Hezbollah that wants Jews dead.
It is a moral imperative to remain clear of him and to do no business with this Nazi. If you are Jewish, double down on that. The life you save might well be your own.
