12 0680/23/M/J/16 © UCLES 2016 (e) One way to conserve ecosystems is by the creation of national parks. Look at the information about the Chobe National Park in Botswana. Chobe National Park Chobe National Park covers 10 566 km2. The north of the park, which borders the Chobe River, receives the most rainfall. The amount of rainfall decreases rapidly to the south. Temperatures are high throughout the year. The graph below shows the average monthly rainfall for the northern part of the park. The original inhabitants were hunter-gatherers with nomadic pastoralists in the south. There was some forestry, but by 1975 that had stopped and all the people living in the park were resettled elsewhere. The park has a wide variety of animals, with large numbers of elephants, zebras and antelopes, as well as predators such as lions and hyenas. 0 500 km Indian Ocean Atlantic Ocean N Zambia Namibia Botswana South Africa Lesotho Swaziland Zimbabwe Mozambique Mozambique Chobe National Park J F M A M J J A S O N D 150 140 130 120 110 100 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 rainfall / mm month (i) Describe the location of Chobe National Park. … … … …[2]
