Poaching of Succulents!
Seems like everyone thinks it their right to have a nice looking succulent in their garden, which is fuelling the poaching & illegal trade etc. 😡
Don’t be a criminal moron, don’t steal these succulents.
Leave them there in their natural habitat.

A biodiversity hotspot has become the stomping ground of poachers.
