Environmental issues

Lack of rainfall

The lack of rainfall during dry season causes shortages of water available to both animals and humans.

To help this, people can cut down on water usage so they don't have to take so much from natural resources.

Over grazing

Often animals graze to much and their isn't enough grass to support the population, which not only brings down the population of herbivores, but all the carnivores that feed on them.

We can help this by creating sanctuaries where the amount of grazing taking place can be monitored so food can evenly be distributed.

Wildfires

I think the dry, arid, climate of the savanna, it is easy for things to catch fire, and on lightning strike can create an enormous wildfire.

Reducing human activities in the savanna can reduce the chance of a fire starting through an unnatural cause, and reduce the progression of climate change.
