Kalahari Survival Amid Drought and Diverse Peoples
The Kalahari sustains livestock and sparse flora under erratic rainfall. Meerkats live in bands and communicate by scent and calls. San and Bantu communities, plus European settlers, shape the region, with traditions fading as cattle farming rises and habitat loss threatens desert life.
