  • Okavango Delta - 2020 Conservation Outlook Assessment
    IUCN World Heritage Outlook: https://worldheritageoutlook.iucn.org/ Okavango Delta - 2020 Conservation Outlook Assessment Okavango Delta 2020 Conservation Outlook Assessment SITE INFORMATION Country: Botswana Inscribed in: 2014 Criteria: (vii) (ix) (x) This delta in north-west Botswana comprises permanent marshlands and seasonally flooded plains. It is one of the very few major interior delta systems that do not flow into a sea or ocean, with a wetland system that is almost intact. One of the unique characteristics of the site is that the annual flooding from the River Okavango occurs during the dry season, with the result that the native plants and animals have synchronized their biological cycles with these seasonal rains and floods. It is an exceptional example of the interaction between climatic, hydrological and biological processes. The Okavango Delta is home to some of the world’s most endangered species of large mammal, such as the cheetah, white rhinoceros, black rhinoceros, African wild dog and lion. © UNESCO SUMMARY 2020 Conservation Outlook Finalised on 01 Dec 2020 GOOD WITH SOME CONCERNS The nature of the Okavango Delta – a vast inaccessible wetland on the fringes of a sparsely populated desert – gives it a high degree of natural protection. The values of the site remain in good condition overall, largely due to the sites large size and inaccessibility, allowing the site to maintain its largely unaltered, pristine condition through low human impact. Threats to the site are generally of low concern but for a few issues which remain challenging to address. Whilst tourism has some negative impacts, there are very few roads and the industry is built around a high-cost low-volume business model with small lodge facilities accessed by private charter aircraft.

Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Prospecting carried out to the south of the Zambezi-Limpopo drainage divide in the vicinity of Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, led to the recovery of a suite of ilmenites with a chemical “fingerprint” that can be closely matched with the population found in the early Palaeozoic Colossus kimberlite, which is located to the north of the modern watershed. The ilmenite geochemistry eliminates other Zimbabwe Kimberlites as potential sources of these pathfinder minerals. Geophysical modelling has been used to ascribe the elevation of southern Africa to dynamic topography sustained by a mantle plume; however, the evolution of the modern divide between the Zambezi and Limpopo drainage basins is not readily explained in terms of this model. Rather, it can be interpreted to represent a late Palaeogene continental flexure, which formed in response to crustal shortening, linked to intra-plate transmission of stresses associated with an episode of spreading reorganization at the ocean ridges surrounding southern Africa.

  • Some Observations on the Cuando River
    Some observations on the Cuando River John Mendelsohn If you divided Africa along the Equator into halves and placed yourself at about the center of the southern or bottom half, you would be close to the Linyanti Swamps. More precisely, the Linyanti Swamps are some 2,000 kilometres from the Equator and 1,900 kilometres from the southern tip of Africa. East to west, the Swamps is about 1,400 kilometres from the Indian Ocean and 1,200 kilometres from the Atlantic. Give or take a hundred kilometres, the Linyanti Swamps are pretty well at the heart of southern Africa! These swamps are also the ending of the Cuando River, just like the Okavango Delta being where the Okavango and Cuito Rivers end. All water in the Cuando River therefore feeds into the Linyanti Swamps and normally goes no further. The Swamps are also close to the centre and lowest point of the Kalahari Basin: a gigantic sandpit that is the world’s largest sea of sand. Covering some 2.5 million square kilometres, or three times more than all of Namibia, the Basin extends from the Orange River in South Africa 3,000 kilometres north to the Congo River. At its widest point, it covers almost 1,500 kilometres. While its surface consists largely of wind‐blown sand, a mix of water‐ and wind‐ borne sediments fill the Basin’s deeper levels which extend down hundreds of metres in places. CAPTION: The Kalahari Basin of sand that covers much of southern Africa is surrounded by a rim of higher ground inland of the coast.

It lies within the south-western part of the ~2.0 Ga large igneous province of southern and central Africa that includes the better known Bushveld Complex. Integrated interpretation of regional gravity data and new high-resolution airborne magnetic data have constrained the geometry of the Molopo Farms Complex in southern Botswana as a strongly faulted, polyphase intrusion compartmentalised by regional ductile shear zones.

  • Rivers of South Africa Hi Friends
    A Newsletter for Manzi’s Water Wise Club Members May 2016 Rivers of South Africa Hi Friends, This month we are exploring our rivers. We may take them for granted but they offer us great services. Rivers provide a home and food to a variety of animals. You will find lots of plants, insects, birds, freshwater animals and land animals near and in a river. You can say rivers are rich with different kinds of living things. These living things play different roles such as cleaning the river and providing food in the river for other animals. Rivers carry water and nutrients and they play an important part in the water cycle. We use rivers for water supply which we use for drinking, in our homes, watering in farms, making products in factories and generating electricity. Sailing, taking goods from one place to another and water sports such as swimming, skiing and fishing happens in most rivers. Have you ever wondered where rivers begin and end? Well friends, rivers begin high in the mountains or hills, or where a natural spring releases water from underground. They usually end by flowing into the ocean, sea or lake. The place where the river enters the ocean, sea or lake is called the mouth of the river. Usually there are lots of different living things there. Some rivers form tributaries of other rivers. A tributary is a stream or river that feeds into a larger stream or river. South Africa has the following major rivers: . Orange River (Lesotho, Free State & Northern Cape Provinces), Limpopo River (Limpopo Province), Vaal River (Mpumalanga, Gauteng, Free State & Northern Cape Provinces), Thukela River reprinted with permission withreprinted (Kwa-Zulu Natal Province), Olifants River – (Mpumalanga & Limpopo Provinces), Vol.

  • Assessment of Coalbed Gas Resources of the Kalahari Basin Province of Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Zambia, Africa, 2016
    National and Global Petroleum Assessment Assessment of Coalbed Gas Resources of the Kalahari Basin Province of Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Zambia, Africa, 2016 Using a geology-based assessment methodology, the U.S. Geological Survey estimated undiscovered, technically recoverable mean resources of 4.5 trillion cubic feet of coalbed gas in the Kalahari Basin Province of Botswana, Zambia, and Zimbabwe, Africa. 18° 24° 30° Introduction ZAMBIA The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) completed an assessment of undiscovered, ANGOLA LUSAKA –16° technically recoverable continuous (unconven- tional) coalbed gas resources within the Kalahari Basin Province (fig. 1), a geologically complex HARARE region of approximately 648,670 square kilo- meters in Botswana, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. BOTSWANA Zambezi Basin As much as 1,500 meters (m) of Lower Permian ZIMBABWE sedimentary rocks are present in the Kalahari Basin Province. Coals are present in the Permian NAMIBIA Ecca Group. Thickness of the coal-bearing –22° Kalahari Basin zone ranges from 500 to 550 m with net coal MOZAMBIQUE thickness ranging from 55 to 125 m.
