A muddy or swampy area, particularly in African geography and ecology; low-lying waterlogged land.
From African languages, possibly Swahili or Bantu origins, referring to the seasonally flooded plains and wetland areas characteristic of parts of Central and East Africa.
Fanga wetlands are some of Earth's most biodiverse places—they're nurseries for fish, birds, and insects, yet they're constantly threatened by drainage projects because they look 'useless' to people who don't understand ecosystems.
