Description
Drought-stricken Botswana is seeing its water sources rapidly drying up, which in turn is endangering wildlife including hippos. Conservation authorities say herds are getting stuck in dried-up ponds and are in danger of dying. Local farmers are also seeing watering holes turning into traps for their animals. "This has affected our livestock as they always get stuck in this muddy pool," says Tebogo Ramakgathi. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
