Endangered succulents in the Richtersveld have been given a lifeline from poaching, mining, overgrazing, and climate change
CapeNature says 650 species and more than 1.2 million harvested wild plants have been seized in the past four years
‘Worst case in history of Richtersveld National Park’ SANParks said of the incident, which involved the attempted poaching of 14 endangered Halfmens succulents
About 200 000 mostly dwarf succulents confiscated from poachers have to be cared for while police continue their investigations
