It is common knowledge that the Okavango Delta, which originates in the Angola highlands, is renowned as Africa's most beautiful wetland; a habitat of various animal and plants life species visited by queens, kings and other imminent persons from across the world. It is a wonderland even more famous than its host country "Botswana". However, the fascination for the spellbound tourists may soon be no more as the delta is reportedly under threat of loosing its animals.
Okavango is a natural work of art that trapped Karen Ross who upon her encounter with it in 1983 while in Botswana on a documentary for the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) became convinced she had to stay. As the government of Botswana proceeds with the idea to have the Okavango given the World Heritage status, the reality is Ross championed this listing idea. Think of the Basarwa of Khwai - the nowadays landless great people who gave away their ancestral land for the establishment of the award-winning Moremi Game Reserve (MGR) in the delta - all their land now gone for conservation.
