Historical state:



African Savanna has a wet-dry tropical climate similar to that of Wisconsin, with 7 month of dry season (4 inch of rain/month) from October to March while 5 moth of rainy season from May to November (5-25inch of rain/month). Grasses and grass life plant make up the majority of the plantation while trees make up only a small 5%. This can be attributed to African Savanna’s wet-dry tropical climate (7 month of dry season from October to March and 5 month of rainy season from May to November. During dry seasons there is only 4 inch of rain per month, which creates water stress for trees while the grasses remain dormant. The Savanna holds a large variety of wildlife such as lions, cheetahs, African wildcat, zebras, giraffes and elephants, historically consisting of 45 species of mammal, almost 500 species of birds and also the largest diversity of hoofed animals in the world. The land has remained unchanged for thousand of years until it was threatened by human activities.
