English: This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 8 March 2021, shows the Makgadikgadi Pans in Botswana. The Makgadikgadi Pans are one of the largest salt pans in the world. For much of the year, the salt pans glow white, dried by the sun and the absence of rain. After the rainy season (approximately from November to March), the area turns into a lush wetland that is home to zebras, ducks, flamingos, turtles etc. Two thousand years ago, the Makgadikgadi Pans were one of the largest inland seas on Earth, rich in flora and fauna. According to a study published in the journal Nature, Homo Sapiens originated in the region around the Makgadikgadi Pans, and from there, they began their migration after climate change profoundly altered the climate of the area. The Copernicus Sentinel satellites are particularly useful for monitoring the impact of climate change on fragile ecosystems around the world.
