One example is the Welwitschia, a plant which is only found in the Namib Desert. It absorbs water through its deep roots and can live to an age of 2000 years. A virtual safari leads the visitor through impressive landscapes, such as the sand dunes at Sossusvlei , which can rise to a height of 300 metres, or the mountains along the Kunene river. Three Projects around the World demonstrate the Namibian population's innovative approaches to the responsible use of water, energy and land.
