Tropical Grasslands: What Other Places Have Savannas Like Africa? Explore Global Locations

Tropical grasslands, or savannas, are located near the equator, between 30ºN and 30ºS. Besides Africa, they can be found in South America, especially in the Cerrado region, parts of India in Asia, and Australia. These areas experience warm temperatures, wet seasons, and dry seasons, supporting unique ecosystems.

In Australia, the northern territories present tropical savannas dominated by wet and dry seasons. These grasslands are home to unique species like kangaroos and wallabies. Similarly, parts of India, particularly in the states of Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra, exhibit savanna-like environments called ‘deccan scrub’ that support a variety of flora and fauna.

While these regions share characteristics with African savannas, each one maintains distinct ecological features shaped by local climate and soil conditions. Understanding these global locations enhances our knowledge of tropical grasslands and their importance to biodiversity.

Next, we will explore the ecological significance of savannas and their role in supporting wildlife and human economies.
