Ecological degradation& resultant Climate Change are wreaking havoc for our societies! I witnessed unprecedented fires in Free State at Winburg/Makeleketla. Animal/biotic diversity losses are immeasurable. @unisa Let’s support identify early warning systems/interventions.
Our paper on distinct distributions of underground trees is out! 🔥❄️🦓💧
