Summary
South Africa is experiencing a succulent poaching crisis of unprecedented magnitude. In partnership with South African environmental state institutions, this project will combine sociological and criminological research in South Africa and South Korea with a consumer survey tool and focus groups to:1) characterise illicit supply networks from South Africa to South Korea; 2) analyse the demand for wild-harvested succulents in South Korea; and 3) evaluate opportunities to promote sustainable alternatives in South Africa through legal and regulated succulent trade.
