South Africa has more than 20,000 different plants, which represent about 10% of all known species of the world, so it is considered an area particularly rich in plant biodiversity.

The vegetation is more sparse towards the northwest due to low rainfall.

In the Bushveld habitats are numerous mammals such as lion, leopard, blue wildebeest, the kudu, impala, hyena, hippo and giraffe.
The Cape Floral Kingdom has been identified as one of the most sensitive of South African biodiversity as it will be seriously affected by climate change and has an enormous diversity of life.

Drought, increased intensity and frequency of fires and increasing the temperature lead to the extinction of many of these alien species.
