Rivers
Discover documented river systems flowing through or alongside protected lands in Botswana. This collection facilitates the study of natural watercourses by providing geographic details on segments and basins associated with established national parks and conservation areas.
Islands
An island is a discrete area of land completely surrounded by water, occurring in oceans, lakes, rivers, wetlands, or reservoirs. Islands can originate through volcanism, tectonic uplift, erosion, sediment deposition, reef growth, glacial processes, or the isolation of former mainland terrain. The category spans very different scales and does not by itself establish remoteness, habitation, geology, or ecological uniqueness.
Wetlands
A wetland is a named geographic area where water permanently or seasonally covers the surface or saturates the soil sufficiently to shape hydrology, soils, and biological communities. The category can include marshes, swamps, bogs, fens, floodplains, wet meadows, tidal wetlands, and other water-influenced systems when the source does not provide a narrower normalized type. It is both a physical geographic feature and an ecological setting, but it should not be reduced to a generic habitat label.
