We have 10% of the world’s diversity of flora on South Africa’s 2% land space occupying the globe. What this means is if there were only 100 species of plants left on planet earth and we were to share the species amongst all the other countries on the globe,  you would find some countries don’t get any species of the original 100 plants, other countries just get one species. South Africa would have 10 out of those 100 species.

Wild succulent conserves and promotes an awareness of Southern Africa’s indigenous flora through landscaping and photography.  Judd Kirkel was inspired to educate the public and to encourage gardeners to see and understand the diversity that surrounds us in our own country.  Other life forms such as insects, birds, reptiles and mammals would not exist if it wasn’t for our rich botanical diversity.
