The term used for a large area of grassland in Africa is called a veld in South Africa or a savanna in other regions. These ecosystems are characterized by moderate rainfall, scattered trees, and a rich diversity of wildlife. The savanna is home to many iconic African animals, including elephants, lions, and zebras. Conservation efforts are essential to protect these grasslands from overgrazing and habitat loss, ensuring sustainability for both the wildlife and local communities that depend on these landscapes.
