The Okavango Delta is one of the most spectacular wetlands on Earth. This book shows how climate change is upsetting the balance of nature and threatening the Okavango Delta. Having located the Delta and described it on a beautifully illustrated double page spread, the book then explains why the Delta needs saving. The reasons include spectacular seasonal swamps, wildlife, an ancient homeland, precious water for people, amazing ecosystem engineers, a paradise for birds, safari spectacle, an untouched global treasure and carbon storage. A really important piece of climate justice work to help children understand how issues are interconnected and why it is important to fight against climate change.
