IGERT Story
Living with thirst: People and wildlife in southern Africa's variable climate Part Two
Description
A video essay was completed and presented at the first Millennium Conference of the Ecological Society of America entitled, “Water-Ecosystem Services, Drought, and Environmental Justice.” Five IGERT trainees all working in different parts of southern Africa and representing four different disciplines collaborated to produce the video essay, “Living with thirst: People and wildlife in southern Africa’s variable climate.” The video illustrated the importance of climate change and climate variability for the livelihoods of the Vende people in Limpopo Province, South Africa. Data analysis included environmental history interviews at the household level and analysis of precipitation patterns of the latter half of the 20th century.
