The Okavango basin in southern Africa with its variety of savannah woodlands and wetland ecosystems linked by the central lifeline<br/>of the Okavango River is a global hot-spot of accelerating change and land use conflicts. The river has its source in the rainy highlands<br/>of Angola and terminates in the Okavango Delta, the world's largest inland delta and the largest freshwater swamp south of the equator.<br/>The Future Okavango project analyses ecosystem functions and services within this trans-boundary basin of high international visibility<br/>and high potential transferability of results to other tropical and sub-tropical regions.
 
 
The Future Okavango project employs and trains three para-ecologists, based in Angola, Botswana and Namibia, respectively.<br/>The para-ecologist post in Angola (at the site Chitembo) has not been filled yet.
