Haworthiopsis koelmaniorum var. mcmurtryi and haworthia mirabilis, are classified as rare due to their endemic distribution in very limited geographical areas. This restriction makes them highly susceptible to negative impacts from development or livestock grazing, as their populations are already small and vulnerable.
Did you know that animals are not the only endangered lifeforms on our planet, plants are too.
When the Johannesburg Succulent Society hosted its annual succulent festival, plants that are threatened, endangered or critically endangered were on show.
Chairperson of the society Keith Witelson said plants that were on endangered lists were there for different reasons – illegally poached, the effects of climate change or limited geographical areas.
