Climate Change Challenges for the People of the Kalahari

For the Ju|’hoansi villagers ‘climate change’ is not a distant concept. It’s the shape of each dry season, the empty watering hole, and the paths they no longer take because wildlife or edible plants are gone. For them, climate change is tangible. Erratic rainfall, prolonged droughts, and increasing heat threaten gardens, wildlife, and traditional food sources. And as the environment shifts, so do the risks to their traditions, survival, and the future.
