The success of SKEP is dependent on all of our partners participating in or supporting conservation and sustainable development activities in the Succulent Karoo Hotspot. In the 2009-2014 period SKEP seeks to expand its network of partners to ensure that the people of the Succulent Karoo are taking ownership of and enjoy their unique living landscape in a way that maintains biodiversity and improves livelihoods, now and in perpetuity.
