Until the last half-decade, the majestic lesser flamingo had four African breeding sites: two salt pans in Botswana and Namibia, a soda lake in Tanzania, and an artificial dam outside South Africa's historic diamond-mining town of Kimberley. Now it only has three. Years of raw sewage spilling into Kamfers Dam, the only South African water body where lesser flamingos congregated in large enough numbers to breed, have rendered the water so toxic that the distinctive pink birds have abandoned it, according to conservationists and a court judgment against the local council seen by Reuters. Lesser flamingos are currently considered near-threatened, rather than endangered, by the International Union for Conservation of Nature: there are 2-3 million left, four-fifths of them spread ...

But as the French actor Sacha Guitry once said, “Being a Parisian is not about being born in Paris; it's about being reborn there.” I first moved to Paris in my early twenties and, like many before me, was immediately enthralled by the city. But Paris felt like a sleeping beauty in the early 2000s: the economy was stagnant, unemployment was high, and losing the 2012 Olympic bid to London made it feel as though the future was being written elsewhere. By the time I returned to the city in 2012 as an energy correspondent for Reuters following stin...
