| The Richtersveld, South Africa | ||
| This beautiful desolate area where people of Khoisan origin live, is a first for South African conservation authorities. Here the National Parks Board and the local communities have made a contract where the resources and benefits are shared and managed. It is also an area where diamonds are mined and the beautiful landscape competes with the highly profitable diamond mining industry. Barren and beautiful it is described by the author of the text Antjie Krog as a place " where you need a lot of God to live there.” | ||
