From
our
reporter
in
Kenya:
President
Mwai
Kibaki
said
his
Government's
effort
to
develop
all
parts
of
the
country
was
driven
by
the
quest
to
improve
the
lives
of
Kenyans
and
not
because
of
elections.
Speaking
after
he
officially
opened
the
Kibwezi-Athi
bridge
in
Kibwezi
District,
President
Kibaki
said
the
Government
embarked
on
implementing
development
projects
immediately
after
he
came
to
office
and
will
continue
to
do
so
in
order
to
address
the
development
needs
of
all
Kenyans.

At
first
glance,
the
web
site
for
this
show
of
photography
at
the
Tate
Britain
the
first
major
exhibition
of
photography
ever
to
be
held
at
the
museum
-
doesn't
seem
to
include
digital
version
of
many
photographs
from
the
physical
show.
There
are
two
albums
of
historical
photos:
Mr.
&
Mrs.
Welford's
photograph
album,
and
The
Ragged
School
Union,
that
hold
roughly
200
hundred
pictures,
along
with
handwritten
texts
and
captions
that,
although
faithfully
scanned,
are
a
bit
hard
to
read.
There
are
also
a
few
examples
of
professional
and
documentary
photography
on
the
site.
First
impressions
can
be
deceiving
though,
because
the
other
first
about
this
exhibition
is
that
the
Tate
Britain
is
inviting
members
of
the
public
to
contribute,
using
the
photo
sharing
service,
Flickr.
The
section
entitled
'How
We
Are
Now'
links
to
hundreds
of
photographs
submitted
to
the
exhibition's
Flickr
pool,
in
four
categories:
portrait,
landscape,
still
life
or
documentary.
Submissions
will
close
on
July
25th,
and
curators
at
the
Tate
will
select
40
images
-
one
from
each
category
-
and
these
final
40
images
will
be
added
to
the
exhibition's
website.

Send

Develop

A
flamingo
conservation
program
was
launched
at
Kenya's
Lake
Nakuru,
a
major
habitat
of
flamingo,
to
develop
strategies
to
address
the
declining
flamingo
populations
and
densities
in
the
Rift
Valley
lakes
in
Kenya.
Flamingo
is
classified
as
"near
threatened"
in
the
2006
World
Conservation
Union
Red
List
of
Threatened
Species,
indicating
that
it
is
considered
likely
to
qualify
for
a
threatened
category
in
the
near
future,
according
to
a
report
compiled
by
the
United
Nations
Environment
Program
(UNEP)
researcher
Anderson
Koyo.
The
report,
released
at
a
two-day
workshop
serving
as
an
initial
part
of
the
program,
said
the
flamingoes
are
regarded
as
flagship
and
indicator
species
for
the
lakes'
ecosystem
health
and
ecological
integrity.
