Following the 11th IPBES Plenary Session, IPBES will launch the long-awaited thematic assessment of the underlying causes of biodiversity loss, determinants of transformative change and options for achieving the 2050 vision for biodiversity — or transformative change assessment for short.

The park is the largest protected area in the Succulent Karoo biodiversity hotspot, home to "the world’s richest succulent flora" according to Conservation International. The Orange River-Karoo Conservation Area (ORKCA) is transforming the conservation of this region through restoring and rewilding that involves local communities in southern Namibia.
