Bushveld Charcoal 5 kg
Bushveld Charcoal is made from Acacia mellifera, an invasive thorn bush that slowly overgrows the Namibian grassland and causes great damage to local ecosystems.
Through years of overgrazing, poor management and the burning of large tracts of grassland for agriculture, the bush has been given free rein in large parts of Namibia. The result of this is that there is an imbalance in the relationship between grasses and shrubs, which has endangered the biodiversity of the beautiful nature in Namibia.
Large grazers such as the zebra and the antelope are being displaced from their natural environment. In their wake, the cheetah follows, which sees its hunting area shrinking and increasingly falls prey to larger competitors such as the leopard and the lion.
Fortunately it is not too late. The grassland can be reclaimed by clearing the bush. This not only gives nature a chance to recover, but also offers opportunities for the local economy.
Bushveld Charcoal is ecologically responsible, FSC certified African hardwood of the highest quality.
With your purchase you contribute to the restoration of unique nature reserves and you support local initiatives such as the Africat Foundation and the Cheetah Conservation Fund, organizations that are committed to the care and conservation of the varied population of predators of Namibia.
