Great Migration: Serengeti infographic
18 Mar
The Serengeti is one of Africa’s most recognizable wild places, famed for its picture-perfect plains and vast herds of migrating wildebeest. Unfortunately, its future is under threat as plans to build a commercial highway through the northern Serengeti gain momentum. The road could potentially devastate the delicate ecosystem and the great migration, as well as having a negative effect on tourism revenue and Tanzania’s proud conservation legacy.
In an effort to protect and celebrate this remarkably diverse area, Serengeti Watch has launched the first-ever International Serengeti Day, to be held on March 19. To mark the occasion, we’ve put together an infographic that’s packed with cool facts and figures about the region. We’re sure the 1,300,000 migrating wildebeest will love it. (Click to enlarge)
