Long description
The ecology of the Namib Desert provides a richness and uniqueness of species that cannot be found anywhere else on earth. The desert is a challenging environment where it seldom rains and where day temperatures can soar about 60ºC. Survival for plants and animals seems almost impossible, yet many species have adapted by developing unique characteristics. In this publication, some of these species are brought to life in detailed descriptions and beautiful colour photographs.
