Desirable plants and how to protect them

In our plant conservation webinar, we update our BotSoc fraternity on actions to improve the response to poaching of our desirable plants – succulents and cycads. What’s going right, but what remains a challenge? And what can our BotSoc members continue to do to help us address this threat? Rupert Koopman chats to Zwelakhe Zondi, Hafeez Sonday and Emily Kudze for the latest news on how we are protecting species at risk.
