VISION
The people of the Succulent Karoo take ownership of and enjoy their unique living landscape in a way that maintains biodiversity and improves livelihoods now and into perpetuity.

MISSION
Ensuring biodiversity conservation and sustainable land-use in the Succulent Karoo Biome.

SKEP is a bi-national initiative that seeks to develop conservation as a viable form of land use.

AIMS

  • To foster decentralised and stakeholder-driven strategic planning and implementation;
  • to promote biodiversity conservation and sustainable land-use in the Succulent Karoo hotspot;
  • to research regions where the greatest number of species are under threat; and
  • to focus on cost-effective efforts for conservation.

SPECIAL NOTE
SKEP spans the regions of southern Namibia and the north western Cape, South Africa.

The Succulent Karoo Hotspot is a truly extraordinary global biodiversity treasure. With over 6000 plant species, 250 bird species, 78 species of mammals, 132 species of reptiles and amphibians, and an unknown number of insects. It is the world's most diverse arid environment. Over 40% of these species are found nowhere else.
