Save the Okavango Delta: A UNESCO World Heritage Site in Peril

Okavango Delta

The Okavango Delta, a unique inland river delta in Botswana, is facing numerous threats. These include climatic variability (droughts and floods), climate change (rising temperatures and altered rainfall), and tectonic activities. Human activities such as overgrazing, arable farming, hunting, over-harvesting of veld products, deforestation, and bushfires further exacerbate these challenges, disrupting the delicate ecosystem and biodiversity.

Physical Threats

Climatic variability, climate change, and tectonic activities significantly impact the delta's water flow, vegetation, and overall landscape.

Human Impacts

Overgrazing, deforestation, unsustainable farming practices, hunting, and bushfires contribute to habitat loss, pollution, and biodiversity decline.

Our Conservation Efforts

Discover the collaborative initiatives underway to protect the Okavango Delta, including sustainable land management and community-based conservation programs.
