Savanah ecosystems

Savanna ecosystems are landscapes characterized by a mix of trees and grasses, found in regions with a seasonal climate. They typically have a wet season with heavy rainfall and a dry season with very little rain. This environment supports diverse wildlife, including large herbivores like elephants and giraffes, as well as predators such as lions and hyenas. Savannas play a crucial role in biodiversity and are essential for many indigenous cultures that depend on their resources. Examples include the African savanna and the Brazilian Cerrado.
