Old Bear Castles of Korkeasaari Zoo in...

April 29, 2025

Their design now offers a glimpse into the past’s standards for animal welfare. The bear castles were constructed with sturdy stone walls and iron bars. The enclosures were small and lacked the naturalistic elements we now recognize as essential for animal well-being. As...

Flag Fen Archeology Park in Peterborough, England

Continually occupied from prehistory until today, the site of Flag Fen in the United Kingdom is home to a wide range of evidence and artifacts from different eras.

Mount Nimba LAMCO Mining Site in Yekepa,...

April 28, 2025

The ruins of the LAMCO mining site, once the largest iron ore mining operation in the world, sprawl out against the backdrop of a nature reserve at the base of West Africa’s tallest mountain. Throughout the 1960s, 70s, and 80s, the ore extracted from this site made LAMCO—the Liberian American (Swedish) Minerals Company—Liberia’s biggest revenue earner, and Yekepa the third largest town in Liberia. Operations were disrupted in the bloody civil wars of the 1990s and early 2000s. Today, the...
