The Most Spectacular Migration on Earth: The Red Crabs of Christmas Island If you are indoors when it happens, the first thing you notice is the crackling noise, a chorus of clicking. The march has begun. Looking outside, the sight beggars belief:
the entire forest floor, and even the roads that run through it, swathed in a sea of red. So thickly do the crabs blanket the routes to the shoreline that they can easily be seen from air. What we are witnessing is the annual migration of the red crabs –
one of the most spectacular animal migrations on the planet. Christmas Island in Southeast Asia sets the stage for this most epic of nature’s journeys: the synchronized mass movement of 65 million crabs walking up to 8 km in just 5 days.

1. Good News as Senate Moves to Reduce the Price of Cement in Nigeria Nigerian lawmakers have urged the government to break the dominance of the country’s three biggest cement makers to encourage more competition and reduce prices.
More government incentives such as concessionary loans and larger tax rebates for new entrants could make the market more competitive, the lawmakers said. That may in turn bring down the cost of cement that’s 240% higher in Nigeria than the global average.

GOOD NEWS!
