The Succulent Karoo Ecosystem Programme (SKEP) is a long term, multi-stakeholder bioregional conservation & development partnership programme working toward the vision that the people of the Succulent Karoo take ownership of and enjoy their unique living landscape in a way that maintains biodiversity and improves livelihoods now and in perpetuity.
 
With the challenges that the Succulent Karoo is facing, SKEP champions a new conservation model that integrates scientific expertise with socio-economic and institutional concerns
