It's Everybody's Business
The vegetation of the Klein Karoo and adjacent Riversdale coastal plain area is unique. Approximately 4500 species of plants that occur nowhere else on earth are found here, in three internationally-recognised, biodiversity hotspots - Fynbos, Succulent Karoo and Valley Thicket. This, along with the empty landscapes, the seascapes, the solitude and the silence, make this a very attractive area for tourists, especially those from more crowded parts of the planet.
But the Klein Karoo is also an area that is water stressed. Rainfall is naturally low, but damage in the water catchments, and along the rivers, has not improved the situation. In 2011 therefore, the Gouritz Cluster Biosphere Reserve (GCBR), was established. It's a community-based initiative that aims to protect, and restore, the natural environment of the Klein Karoo, while at the same time, encouraging the continued, healthy growth of the local economy. This film sets out to tell this story.

The Survival of the Fattest

Succulent plants are mostly found in deserts and semi-deserts. They have devised an amazing number of strategies to survive the extremes of typical desert conditions. About half the succulent plants on earth occur in Southern Africa. Follow three succulent enthusiasts in Namaqualand as they look at how some of these plants survive.
That opening shot statement. A poke at typical videographers.
Why oh why do you have to go on about this Stupid Unscientific and unprovable theory of evolution? Open your eyes and recognize Creation is the result of a Supremely Intelligent Creator.
Excellent, thank all of you for presenting a most informative video.🌵🏵
Very nice click bait title. Too bad it does not apply to humans! Shucks!
More Video Power for the good minded folk.. ✌🏻🛸
wow
Grandpa is lucky they get to take some cactus pups home, remember to bring some leather gloves. Thumbs up from east Los Angeles
What an outstanding presentation! Thanks!!!
It amazes me how South Africa looks strikingly similar to parts of Montana in summertime. The succulent at 24:08 looks nearly identical to our state flower the Bitterroot Lewisia Rediviva, which is itself a succulent.
Amazing documentay! Thank you
I love this documentary as a succulant plant enthusiast. ❤ I always come back here every once in a while. ❤ There's not a lot of documentaries that feature beautiful upclose images and videos of succulents in the wild. 🎉❤
Fantastic
Beautiful documentary, I love these plants so much, to see them in their natural habitat is incredibly enlightening. Seeing their design to survive these harsh conditions and beautifying arid landscapes, all praise and thanks to my dear Heavenly Father, creator of these beauties.
Wait till these guys find out about Asia… They’re gonna freak out! lol
Things humans can learn from succulents: stop being a little bit**. 😂
Loved this documentary! Any sequel with this group?
Absolutely fantastic! Thank you for this.
I do really really enjoy this video ! It has brought me a new fresh idea of succulents in South Africa this beautiful country . Thanks for sharing your wonderful experience with us again ! 🥰🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🙏
Loved it. Thank you for sharing all of this with the world.
What happened to the guy?
I wish you made more
Wow, the lithops is amazing
Love all things succulent. Thank you for posting and it's very interesting to see a lot of my succulents in the wild setting.
Oh this is just fantastic!
Excellent documentary on succulents; commentary delivery is awesome 👌
If i go there, can i pick them?(only seed or the babies)
A “Fenestraria” só é encontrada na Namíbia? No Brasil 🇧🇷 existem algumas espécies de suculentas que eu não estou conseguindo identificar.
Is a marvelous video about these super special plants
Thank you so much for this. I enjoyed every minute.
This was fun to watch, been repotting and learning about my plants that I grow in pots growing in nature from around the world, was fun getting about an 80% naming rate as I watched.
Another group no one talks about but exists are the Nicolettias. These are succulents, which can move to follow trace water. Plants like Echeveria, Titanopsis, Crassula Ovata, ect. All send out aerial roots. These roots allow for these plants, to detach from the base of the main stem and set roots in another location. This allows the plant to slowly move, to a more preferred location. Taking advantage of light, water, shelter. It us more complicated than this, these are the basics.
It is unfortunate that these people were unable to identify the plants they filmed to the people watching this video. Less prestigious people have done this successfully.
this is fantastic, thank you so much
no names! no infos!
Que maravilla , es lo que yo quería ver y de pronto aquí está , su hábitat lugar de nacimiento de estás maravillosas suculentas y demás como los liptos estoy fascinada, gracias por mostrarlas.
