The Last Survivors
The world had changed. The skies were always dark, the air toxic, and the land barren.

The survivors huddled together in these bunkers, hoping that they could make it through one more day.

The Last Tree
The Last Tree The sun hung low in the sky, casting an orange hue over the desolate landscape. Once thriving with life, the earth was now a barren wasteland, scorched and lifeless. The air was thick with the smell of decay, a stark reminder of the cost humanity had paid for its recklessness. Amidst this desolation, a single tree stood tall, its leaves rustling softly in the wind, a symbol of hope in a world devoid of it.

The Flood; Okavango Delta
The Kalahari undergoes a remarkable transformation into a wildlife haven during the great flood, turning into a living, breathing miracle. The Okavango Delta receives distant rainfall even in the driest season. Hungry quillia flocks scour the floodplains for food, while the grasses have withered, leaving only dormant seeds in the dry sand. Competition for food ensues during the dry season. The unbroken floodplains provide an excellent hunting ground for a cheetah mother with three growing cubs to feed. The cubs are too young to hunt, observe, and learn. The cheetah's speed and agility make feeding the family effortless for now, but challenges will arise when the flood arrives. Survival in this dry season is all about timing, with the leopard embodying stealth and the cheetah embodying speed. The kagelia trees come to life, attracting vervet monkeys and aiding in pollination. The flowers of the kagelia trees brim with sweet nectar, enticing the vervet monkeys to drink and assist in pollination. The flood draws a variety of insect species to a concentrated area, including dragonflies and damselflies, forming one of the largest concentrations of these insects on Earth. Insects feed and mate in this area, with males grasping onto females during mating.
