Let's Save the Okavango Delta: Why we must protect our planet cover

Discover why we must protect Okavango Delta from climate change.

Explore the Okavango Delta, Africa’s incredible inland wetland, a sparkling jewel at the heart of the Kalahari Desert. This richly illustrated picture book brings to life this extraordinary region for young children, navigating its maze of shimmering lagoons, meandering channels and overgrown islands teeming with wildlife. In this watery wilderness, lion, cheetah, leopard and African wild dog share the floodplains with large herds of elephant and buffalo. It delves into the important role wetlands play in reducing the effects of greenhouse gases, and showcases the rich wildlife and diverse communities that can all be found there and therefore why it is so important that we act to protect this special part of the planet from the impact of climate change.

Let’s Save The Okavango Delta is a timely and beautifully illustrated book […] This is a very special book which easily communicates big topics to young people […] Perfect as a leisure book, but also as part of a topic, this is a great book for your libraries. * The School Librarian *
As we explore this book we also explore the Delta and discover just how important it is, how important all Deltas are to us, to wildlife, to our planet. * Armadillo Magazine *
