This also works well for safari lodges. They worked out you can just put a pond there and elephants etc will come while guests are having breakfast. Reliably present fresh water in a dry area = animals

awesome, would be nice to stream this to a screen on the wall in my home office ... even with low volume sound. project for the weekend :)

We did this in a project where, due to reasons, we used a windowless, dull, claustrophobic meeting room for 6 months. Every now and then our daily was interrupted by the sight of an elephant on the screen

I once toured an elementary school in one country that was "twinned" with another elementary school in another country.

One of the classrooms (4th grade, maybe?) had one wall that was entirely a projection from a camera set up in a classroom of the other school. The other school had the opposite setup.

The effect was of one large classroom, though the projected one was naturally a little dimmer, fuzzier, and de-saturated. But I was told that even though there was no audio link between them, the children of the different classrooms got to know each other on sight, and formed social bonds.

The Namib is also home to this rather strange but extremely adapted plant: Welwitschia – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welwitschia

People tend to think that deserts are lifeless wastes to be readily exploited because who cares, right?

If you've ever actually lived in or explored a desert, you quickly learn that they are full of life. More than most urban landscapes.
