Synopsis
In the harsh, remote Richtersveld and Succulent Karoo, a battle rages against time and organised crime. South Africa’s endemic succulents are being poached to the brink of extinction, smuggled to the East and sold to an online market driven by social media. While international syndicates pocket billions of dollars, locals are paid next to nothing to put their lives on the line. This short documentary follows botanist Pieter van Wyk in his efforts to protect South Africa’s unique ecosystem from devastation.
