    Two of June’s top posts related to conflict and the well-being of a country’s population. In our most-read post this past month, Matt Luizza investigates herder-farmer conflict in Africa’s Sudano-Sahel and urban elites’ increasing militarization of transhumance, the practice of moving livestock seasonally to access available pastures and water. In our third most popular post this month, Wim Zwijnenburg discusses the importance of protecting civilians by protecting the environment during armed conflicts.

    The Wilson Center’s China Environment Forum grabbed the second spot this month. Danielle Neighbour and Gillian Zwicker compare wastewater management systems in China and the United States and provide lessons learned from the Big Apple’s long-term wastewater initiatives for vulnerable Chinese coastal urban centers. 

    Our fourth- and fifth-ranked posts recapped recent events held at both the United Nations and the Wilson Center. In our fourth top post, Ladeene Freimuth described EcoPeace Middle East’s Palestinian and Israeli Co-Directors’ testimony at a recent United Nations Security Council session focused on cooperation over shared water resources as a potential solution to the Palestinian-Israeli crisis. In our final post, Nazra Amin reports on an event hosted by the Wilson Center’s Africa Program that highlighted a transforming Africa, with young people and women driving the change.
