However, poaching, trophy hunting, climate change and habitat destruction have contributed to these majestic animals being listed as threatened or even critically endangered on the International Red List (IUCN). Today, hippos are found exclusively in southern Africa, south of the Sahara. Here, about 130,000 greater hippos and about 2,500 lesser hippos live in the wild.<\/p><p>Human encroachment in the northern part of the Okavango Delta and climate change are resulting in changes in weather and rainfall patterns that can lead to more severe storms and prolonged periods of drought. When rivers or lakes dry up as a result of prolonged drought, humans and all animals are forced to go without water. This poses a great danger to hippos in particular, as they can get stuck in the dried-up waters and suffer heatstroke because they cannot sweat to cool down.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-7810ddd\" data-id=\"7810ddd\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-378e5d7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"378e5d7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/save-wildlife.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Wabotlhe-1-uai-251x251-1-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-image-1062\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/save-wildlife.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Wabotlhe-1-uai-251x251-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/save-wildlife.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Wabotlhe-1-uai-251x251-1-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/save-wildlife.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Wabotlhe-1-uai-251x251-1.jpg 251w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-909e0df elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"909e0df\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u201eLong-lasting drought has plagued Botswana for years.

In the western part of the lower Okavango Delta lies Lake Ngami (Lake Ngami). It is an important indicator of environmental change and climate variability in the basin due to its lack of natural drainage. Surrounding communities and wildlife rely on the lake as an important resource. It is used for commercial and subsistence fishing and also supports livestock when water levels are high enough. The lake&#8217;s water level was exceptionally low during the historic drought of 2019. The lake disappeared completely at the end of 2019 and remained empty until the end of 2021.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6208cd1\" data-id=\"6208cd1\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-13f53e2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-premium-addon-maps\" data-id=\"13f53e2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"premium-addon-maps.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t<div class=\"premium-maps-container\" id=\"premium-maps-container\">\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"premium_maps_map_height premium-addons__v-hidden\" data-settings=\"{&quot;mapId&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;maptype&quot;:&quot;roadmap&quot;,&quot;streetViewControl&quot;:false,&quot;centerlat&quot;:&quot;41.87194&quot;,&quot;centerlong&quot;:&quot;12.56738&quot;,&quot;scrollwheel&quot;:false,&quot;fullScreen&quot;:false,&quot;zoomControl&quot;:true,&quot;typeControl&quot;:true,&quot;automaticOpen&quot;:false,&quot;hoverOpen&quot;:false,&quot;hoverClose&quot;:false,&quot;cluster&quot;:false,&quot;cluster_icon&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;cluster_icon_size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;drag&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;loadScroll&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;linkedCarouselId&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-style=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"premium-pin elementor-invisible\" data-lng=\"24.684866\" data-lat=\"-22.328474\" data-icon=\"\" data-icon-size=\"\" data-max-width=\"1000\" data-activated=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class='premium-maps-info-container'>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class='premium-maps-title-wrap'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class='premium-maps-info-title'>Botswana<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class='premium-maps-info-desc'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tF\u00fcge eine optionale Bescheibung zur deiner Karten-Stecknadel hinzu\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-ace32ad fullwidth-arrow-after fullwidth-arrow-after-brown elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ace32ad\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5fc6da5\" data-id=\"5fc6da5\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0c66442 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0c66442\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">SAVE &#8211;
