The AfriMerican's Perspective

  The only way that someone will be in a precise position to know and understand the ecosystem of an environment is if that individual has lived in that environment. But some may argue, does someone have to live in a place, community, or country to understand how they live? Is it possible that people may know an environment without having lived there?  The advent of the internet and the proliferation of smartphones has made information accessible to everyone. No one is incapable of finding out anything about an environment that captures their interest.
