Vitamin C, please: Even inexpensive and common berries like blackberries and blueberries (above) are bursting with vitamin C, which the brain needs. Also great: coldwater fatty foods, such salmon (at top). Read more.

IN THE SPOTLIGHT

Keep the breeding going: When John Hume started his now 21,000-acre operation in South Africa 15 years ago, he had 200 rhinos. He now has 2,000—and he’s looking to sell it all (including the five hippos and 11 giraffes).

With a starting bid at $10 million, whoever takes over the world’s largest rhino farm needs passion for conserving them and a hefty stream of income: Hume spends more than $425,000 per month on farm operations, Nat Geo reports. (Above, a veterinarian treats a wounded rhino, photographed by Nat Geo Explorer Brent Stirton.)

What’re you yakin’ about? Climate change is impacting how yaks migrate—especially females, who now need to climb even higher and steeper mountains to find water.

Yaks have slightly larger hearts and lungs than cattle found at lower altitudes—and these animals play a crucial role in helping people survive in harsh conditions. (Above, a villager in northern India brings his yak home from open pasture.)

Destructive and sacred: There are more than 5 million stray cows, mainly male, in India (above), destroying farms, spreading disease, and causing fatal accidents.

Male calves are often abandoned by farmers, but they can’t be legally killed because Hindus, who make up the dominant religion in India, consider all cows sacred. So the country is looking for solutions, including sanctuaries and artificial insemination to ensure female calf births only.
