Tolstoy, one of east Africa’s few remaining Super Tusker elephants, wandered the grasslands around Mount Kilimanjaro for more than five decades. That was until last year, when he died after being speared by a farmer seeking to protect his crops.

“This is happening more and more,” said ranger Daudi Ninaai from Kenya’s Amboseli ecosystem reserve. The ranger fears other elephants will meet the same fate, as the increasingly frequent conflicts between humans and wildlife are worsened by the increase of new commercial farms. Incidents of elephants’ crop robbing more than doubled from 156 in 2020 to 363 last year.

“It’s skyrocketing because the space is shrinking,” said Samuel Tokore, a senior official at Kenya Wildlife Service. The fenced farms have considerably reduced elephants’ ability to travel. Tall barriers have been thrown up across their ancient migration routes.

The problem begins partly from a state-led move to divide 1.35mn acres in Amboseli used by generations of native Maasai people into private lands. After the public land was divided up, some chose to sell them on to commercial farmers.

“The destruction of wildlife buffer zones (缓冲区) and corridors for industrial farming is at a tipping poinit,” WildlifeDirect’s Kahumbu said. Michael Kairu set up his farming business in Amboseli five years ago only to find out later about the threat it posed to wildlife. His 500-acre farm is located in what was once an elephant breeding ground. “Government agencies and communities should make it clear where you can farm,” said Kairu, whose customers include leading UK supermarkets. “I don’t want to be in the wrong place,” he said.

Connecting with peers, professors, and staff members is a fundamental part of having a good college experience. But students don’t always know how important those relationships are — or how to form them. A new book is here to help. Connections Are Everything: A College Student’s Guide to Relationship-Rich Education is the follow-up to Relationship-Rich Education: How Human Connections Drive Success in College. The first book’s authors, Peter Felten and Leo M. Lambert, have added two more for the second: Isis Artze-Vega and Oscar R. Miranda Tapia.

While professional in research, Connections Are Everything is accessible. It’s a quick read, and its tone is friendly. Each chapter ends with a few reflection questions and a few concrete actions students can take to reach out to other people on campus. The book draws on a large body of student interviews, and it features stories from a diverse group of students attending all sorts of colleges.

Felten pointed out, many colleges do talk about connecting during orientation (入学教育), and many professors do on the first day of class. “So it’s not like institutions don’t do anything about this,” he said. But sometimes, Felten added, those messages get lost, especially in the initial, busy adjustment to college. “A faculty member might say, ‘I’m available, and I’m here to support you,’ and all this, but the student is still trying to figure out how the online platform works, or whatever it is. So sometimes we do a great deal of orienting, without recognizing that these are humans we’re dealing with, and they’re really overwhelmed.”

While the book emphasizes many people on campus can help students, it also makes clear that a college education isn’t something that happens to you, but something you build. For about a decade, Artze-Vega said, there’s been a lot of emphasis on how professors can better support their students in the classroom. The book, in contrast, says “it’s a shared responsibility”. The book encourages students “to use their agency and to take an active first step,” she said. That is something Artze-Vega thinks will appeal to professors, who, after all, are tired. When students are empowered to take charge of their own education, the authors emphasized, not everything falls to faculty members. And besides, students who are empowered are simply more fun to teach.

Tracking daily steps can motivate us to walk more. Tracking sleep can reveal sleep patterns and help improve them. Can tracking our moods make us happier?

There are now many tech ways to log your emotions each day. Fitbit offers mood logging in its stress-management tool. Apps like Daylio focus on mood. The latest big player to enter the competition is Apple. Its latest software updates include a way to log your state of mind.

Why log your mood? Many mental-health professionals say simply being aware of your mental state can identify patterns and improve well-being. When people can see associations between their moods and factors like sleep and exercise, these doctors say, it can be even more powerful. Apple’s push into mental health comes as the country is experiencing a youth mental-health crisis and growing numbers of adults are struggling with depression.

Then you can figure out if you feel better on days when you sleep well or exercise more. After selecting how they feel, people can then choose factors that have the biggest impact on their feelings, like travel or family. The features will be available in the Health app on iPhones and iPads. On the Apple Watch, it’s in the Mindfulness app. Apple device users who track their moods will be able to share the log with their doctors. (Apple says it doesn’t share Health app data with third parties without the user’s permission.)

“When people keep track of emotional changes and see linkages, it can lead them to make changes in their behavior,” says Michelle Craske, a psychology and psychiatry professor at UCLA who has studied the effects of mood tracking.

But some research suggests that people don’t experience lasting benefits because they don’t track often or long enough. “A lot of mood-tracking tools are built on the idea that people would track their mood at least once a day because they’re supposed to identify patterns and triggers (诱因),” said Stephen Schueller, associate professor of psychological science at the University of California, who has studied mood-tracking apps. Schueller and his colleagues found that most people really only track their moods a couple of times a week. However, Schueller said that while there isn’t enough evidence to say definitively that tracking your moods makes you happier, there aren’t any downsides — except the few extra minutes a day on your phone.
