Cli- mate change causes more damage in the eco- system each year. Droughts last longer, the Okavango Delta dries faster, which results in water shortage for both wildlife and human population, and when it does rain, storms and winds are increasingly destructive. With the landscape suffering climate transforma- tion, agriculture struggles, and poverty has been denominated the greatest fuel for il- legal trade. That’s why the government has worked to create sustainable solutions and efforts against poverty, better infrastructure, responsible farming and eco-tourism. Human intervention is also an issue. Overgrazing is a growing problem, and many lions and leop- ard have been poisoned by farmers to pro- tect their cattle. This is why it’s important to spread knowledge about these species among the people and thus create a communal effort to help the ecosystem recover for the sake of an entire country’s inhabitants. https://www.africanparks.org/ https://www.wcs.org/ https://www.awf.org/country/Botsuana
