Desperately seeking cover
by Stan Schouten, PhD fellow, Universität Bern, Bern, Switzerland
A harsh wind whips across the parched Serengeti. A lone giraffe stretches its neck, searching for refuge as storm clouds gather on the horizon. Climate change is altering this iconic landscape. Droughts lengthen, interupted by increasingly violent storms. The delicate balance of the Serengeti's ecosystem, already strained, faces a new threat. Here, on one of the last remaining stretches of true steppe, the legendary Great Migration hangs in the balance.
