Summary Steve Backshall narrates an investigation into what makes the Okavangosuch a diverse, wildlife rich place, and looks at how an inland delta canexist at all, he looks at the physical characteristics of the environmentthat mean the water doesnt simply flow away to the sea. He discoversthat not only is it the geographical character of the area that makes thedelta what it is but also the Okavangos living inhabitants too. The plantsand the hippos engineer their environment in such a way that the waterdoes not stagnate and the environment is continually kept in a cyclebetween swamp and grassland, without which it could not support such arich diversity of wildlife
