## Recognise open landscapes

Savannas are dominated by herbaceous vegetation with more scattered trees. Water availability and seasonal change shape how animals use the landscape.

## An example from Komodo

UNESCO describes Komodo National Park through savanna hills, patches of woody vegetation, and coastal environments. One park can contain several connected habitats.

## Do not read it as empty land

Open ground is not automatically forest awaiting trees. Before supporting a project, ask about its reference habitat and the ecological reasons for proposed actions.

## A responsible visit

Check permits, guides, and visiting conditions with the official manager. Follow designated routes and safety instructions; never lure animals closer with food.
