Cultural diversity matters as much as the variety of plants and animals on Earth. We need both to keep our world healthy and rich.
Languages play a big role in keeping cultures alive. Each language carries special ways of thinking and living, helping to pass down wisdom from old to young.
AI language tools are making English even stronger than before. These tools mostly use English data, which puts other languages at risk. More than 3,000 languages might die out soon. Another 3,500 languages face growing pressure, even big ones like Chinese and Spanish.
The internet already clearly shows this problem. English accounts for more than half of all websites, while Spanish comes next with only about 5 percent.

Africa Can't Wait for Climate Help, Experts Say.
Africa faces hard times from climate change. The world promised to help but gave very little money. Countries in Africa need about $400 billion by 2030 to deal with climate problems. They received just $700 million by late 2024.
The warming of the Earth hits Africa the worst, even though African nations create very little pollution. Many people must leave their homes, farms fail, and lives change forever.
But some nations step up to assist. China provides money and knowledge to build clean power plants in Zimbabwe. These new solar farms will generate power for homes and businesses. China spent $200 million on one big solar project in Gwanda, which helps Zimbabwe use less coal and...
Zimbabwe's Tobacco Farms Get High-Tech Upgrade.
Zimbabwe's tobacco board wants farmers to use fingerprints when they sell their crops. This new system helps stop cheating and makes sales smoother.
Farmers can sign up at eight cities across the country. They need to bring their ID card to get their fingerprints recorded. The board promises to keep their information safe.
"Once we have your fingerprint, no one can mess with your farmer number," said the tobacco board. The system lets farmers quickly check their sales, loans, and insurance.
Victor Mariranyika, who leads a farmers' group, likes the new plan. He says many farmers already joined, and others can sign up before or during sales time.

Zimbabwe Plans Big Push for Livestock Growth.
The Zimbabwe government plans to launch a new livestock program later this year. The program aims to help farmers who raise fish, chickens, pigs, goats, and cattle.

Clever Isaya, who leads the Agricultural Marketing Authority, says these fees matter a lot. "When people pay, they help make farming better for everyone," he said. The money goes toward keeping animals healthy and building better farm buildings.
The rules say chicken farmers must pay one cent per bird, people who buy raw milk must pay one cent for each liter...

The power struggle within Zimbabwe's CCC party has taken a new turn. Senator Sengezo Tshabangu has refiled an appeal with the Supreme Court. He had briefly withdrawn it due to a filing error.
Sen. Tshabangu is challenging a January High Court ruling. The ruling said he could not reassign CCC legislators to different Parliamentary committees and voided Sen. Nonhlanhla Mlotshwa's appointment as the party's Chief Whip.
The Welshman Ncube faction of CCC supported the High Court decision. They saw the initial appeal withdrawal as a win for their side.
But Sen. Tshabangu and Sen. Mlotshwa say the withdrawal was just to fix a mistake. They have corrected it and refiled the appeal. They believe they have a strong case.
