Reviewer note: Notability and sourcing

[edit]

This draft has been prepared to meet WP:GEOLAND and WP:GEOFEAT notability guidelines for named geographic features.

Notability rationale

[edit]
  • The Mababe Depression is a recognised seasonal wetland in northern Botswana.
  • It is documented in independent, reliable sources including academic research, government databases, and conservation NGO reports.
  • It plays a significant ecological role as part of the Okavango > Chobe > Makgadikgadi migration corridor.

Sources provided

[edit]
  • Peer-reviewed research from Wageningen University & Research on wildlife corridors (link).
  • Geographic data from the US National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (link).
  • Independent travel overviews from Extraordinary Journeys and Africa Dynamics, both used for factual geographic and ecological detail.
  • NGO reporting from Space for Giants on human–wildlife coexistence in Mababe.

Neutrality

[edit]

The draft is written in a neutral, encyclopaedic tone with no promotional emphasis on any one source, organisation or entity. Multiple operators and management frameworks are mentioned to reflect the region’s diversity.

Further improvements possible

[edit]
  • Additional peer-reviewed geology and hydrology sources.
  • Historical climate and seasonal flood pattern data.
  • Integration of IUCN habitat classification where available.
