A big thank you to Profs Goodenough and Hart, from the University of Gloucester, for donating thermal imaging equipment to support our rhino protection work. The equipment can effectively detect poachers in the bush from their body heat. Even recent footsteps can be detected based on their thermal signature. This equipment will be invaluable to our on-the-ground teams in the fight against rhino poaching. .

We have looked at what climate change means for Botswana, but what are we going to do about it? We need to anticipate and plan for rapid changes in local weather and we need well thought out strategies for adapting current livelihood, economic and ecological systems. At some stage, adaptation of these systems may not be enough, and complete transformations to new livelihoods that are suited to a warmer drier world may be needed.

The world is warming quickly. Global greenhouse gas emissions are at a record high, dashing hopes of limiting global warming to below 2°C by the turn of the century (the world is on track for warming 3.2°C). And Botswana is one of those countries that will be hardest hit. We need to push for nations to cut their greenhouse gas emissions, as only decisive action will slow down the rates of change, making local adaptation in countries like Botswana easier to roll out. .

Botswana is a hot, dry, water-stressed country that is highly vulnerable to climate change. It is predicted that a global temperature rise of 1.5°C will mean a local rise of 2.2°C in Botswana, with severe impacts on the country. These include intensified and longer droughts, more heatwaves, and when the rain does fall it is expected to be much heavier, increasing the risk of heavy flooding. The impacts will be significant on agriculture, health and of course on Botswana’s magnificent wildlife. To reduce these impacts, Botswana needs to prepare and adapt — and to do so quickly. .

We are in the grip of a terrible drought here in Botswana, bringing home to us the reality of what a drier and warmer future will look like in the face of climate change. River flow into the Okavango Delta this season is the lowest measured in over sixty years and the floodplains have not received their annual flood of water. There have been consequent dramatic movements of animals across the Delta, as well as conflict between large mammals and the death of many old, sick and injured animals. This is a snapshot of our future environment and we need to prepare and implement adaptation strategies now to protect Botswana’s people and precious wildlife.

In our previous post we shared the recent finding that modern humans most probably originated from Botswana about 200,000 years ago. The area, which is now dominated by dry salt pans, was once wet and lush, and home to a huge lake system – perfect habitat for humans and wildlife. But the local climate in our ancestral heartland changed, and after about 70,000 years humans began to move, eventually migrating across the globe. Today, once again, we sit on the brink of significant climatic changes. Over the next few posts we will look at what these climate changes will mean for the humans and wildlife living in Botswana today.

According to recent findings, every one of us is African. And even more wonderful than that, we are all Batswana! Come and visit your ancestral homeland soon. 🇧🇼 Copy the link to read the full BBC article: https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-50210701 .

Botswana’s elections are done and dusted! The Botswana Democratic Party (BDP), which has governed the country since independence in 1966, has retained power in what was deemed a free and fair election. And so now it’s back to business for all of us here at RCB, as we return our focus to protecting and building Botswana’s wild rhino populations and conserving their beautiful home in the Okavango Delta.
