Plants for people
Namibia’s plants are vital to the country’s ecosystem and economy. They provide food for people, livestock, and game, and many species have been used for medicinal purposes for centuries. Recently, the commercialisation of indigenous natural products has gained momentum. Additionally, plants are essential for preserving local ecosystems, supporting wildlife, and regulating the climate through carbon sequestration. In short, Namibian plants are invaluable for their diverse uses and benefits.
