The Savanna Biome South Africa
Siya is a campaigner for the Savanna Biome, which is the largest Biome in southern Africa, occupying 46% of its area, and over one-third the area of South Africa. It is characterized by a grassy ground layer and a distinct upper layer of woody plants. The Savanna Biome is famous for its wild animals, like the Lion, Leopard, Cheetah, Elephant, Giraffe, Plains Zebra and numerous birds. Large game reserves like the Kgalagadi
Transfrontier Park and the Kruger National Park are found in this region. Some environmental issues the savanna is experiencing include poaching or hunting, overgrazing, and destruction of land for commercial crops. Many animals in the savanna, such as the rhinoceros and zebra, are endangered and threatened with extinction due to hunting, poaching, and habitat loss. The savanna is often damaged when it is used as pasture land for non-native domestic cattle. Cattle grazing also limits the amount of food available for wildlife.
