... that Lesotho's Lake Letsie Protected Area has Afromontane and Afroalpine vegetation with high biodiversity and endemism? Source: "The main vegetation types are Afromontane and Afroalpine formations that are dominated by grasses and show high biodiversity and endemism levels." ([1])
ALT1:... that there are no trees around Lake Letsie, since its entire catchment area is above the tree line? Source: "There are no trees, as the region is situated above the tree-line." ([2], p.7)
Overall: Bryanrutherford0, looks good. Within policy; clear run through plagiarism detection software. I'm OK with hook 1 as while wordier it's more informative. One source is paywalled but the authors wrote a summary which isn't, so I've added that as an extra citation; I also added an infobox on the Commons page. But can you explain why you have Afromontane but not Afroalpine in the hook, when both are mentioned in the source? Blythwood (talk) 18:35, 14 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
Afroalpine is actually just a redirect to Afromontane at the moment, so I thought it might run better with just the one term; maybe the second could be added in but not wikilinked? -Bryan Rutherford (talk) 23:14, 14 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
