EL MILAGRO ACUÁTICO DEL DESIERTO DELTA DEL OKAVANGO

El delta del Okavango, el mayor delta interior del mundo, se forma cuando el río Cubango se extiende sobre una falla tectónica en el árido desierto del Kalahari, en Botswana.

A diferencia de otros deltas, sus aguas no llegan a mares ni océanos, sino que se evaporan o infiltran, creando un ecosistema único y biodiverso.

Este oasis es vital para la fauna africana y un ejemplo de resiliencia ecológica en un entorno extremo.

À Andon, comment le brame du cerf est perturbé par les aléas du climat

30% de naissances en moins au printemps

Alors que le brame "ne dure que de trois à six semaines", chaque jour compte. "Si les animaux ne se reproduisent pas durant cette période, c’est une année entière de perdue."

À Andon, comment le brame du cerf est perturbé par les aléas du climat

Pour Patrice Longour , le directeur du parc d’Andon, l’avenir passe par le réensauvagement et la réintroduction d’espèces dans des espaces naturels. Depuis des années, les animaux de la réserve ont rejoint l’Okavango au Botswana, la Hollande, la République tchèque, la Roumanie ou la Suède.

Ever since I saw photos of people on boats looking at elephants in the water I've wanted to visit the Okavango Delta. Earlier this year I had my chance.

Chapter 1: An introduction to the Okavango Delta. — Kuo Vadis

Kuo Vadis

「Environmental and #HumanRights groups are calling for an investigation into Calgary-headquartered Reconnaissance Energy Africa (#ReconAfrica), alleging the company has violated human rights in #Namibia.

ReconAfrica is drilling for oil in an ecologically sensitive region in Namibia. Its drilling plans are near the #Okavango Delta — a #UNESCO World Heritage Site, one of the world’s largest protected areas for endangered wildlife and a culturally significant place to the #San people.

A 187-page complaint filed with the Canadian Ombudsperson for Responsible Enterprise (CORE), a federal corporate watchdog, alleges ReconAfrica’s operations have violated international human rights, including the rights to health, water, food and adequate housing, as well as Indigenous rights of free, prior and informed consent to operations in their territory. The complaint was a joint submission from the International Human Rights Program, housed at the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Law, and Saving Okavango’s Unique Life (SOUL), an advocacy group focused on protecting the Okavango Delta. 」

For those looking for a small thing they can do to protect #Namibia and #Botswana, the #Okavango, #Africa|n beauty and also the world against more #ClimateChange, here is a #petition to sign:

“Save the Okavango
To Pohamba Shifeta, Minister of Environment and Tourism in Namibia:
As global citizens, we urgently call on you to revoke the drilling permit that allows #ReconAfrica to destroy the wilderness and threaten the local community culture to search for oil. We urge you to stand with the #Kavango communities and protect the Okavango Delta!”

Africa’s Eden is under assault

I'm devastated. A Canadian oil giant is ripping through our homeland - Africa's hidden Eden, the Okavango Delta. This home to our continent's largest remaining herd of elephants is directly at risk from corporate greed, but our Minister of Environment and Tourism has the power to halt the devastation! He’s been delaying an overdue decision, and with your support we could compel him to revoke ReconAfrica's drilling permit. Sign and let’s take a stand together.

"#ReconAfrica’s projections of 120 billion barrels of oil [in the #Okavango Basin in #Namibia and #Botswana] could produce a “carbon gigabomb” of 51.6 gigatonnes of #emissions.

#BP’s big new gas plans in West Africa pose climate and biodiversity threats in #Senegal, and lucrative contracts with #ENI, #ExxonMobil, BP, #Shell and #Total threaten #Mozambique.

Our communities cannot risk a repeat of the devastation the fossil fuel industry brought to the Niger Delta.."
