Some environmental issues that affect Southern Africa are resource depletion, water and air pollution, land degradation, solid waste pollution and deforestation. South Africa accounts for 50% of the pollution of all of Africa. There are several efforts to rejuvenate the environmental state, but there is still work to be done.
South Africa is known for its beautiful beaches, mountains and landmarks, making it a popular tourist destination. It has a diverse environment that allows for tourists and locals to take part in safaris, scuba diving, skydiving and hiking.
The tourism industry is directly linked to the environment, making it crucial to protect.
The dense smoke caused by the frequent fires on Table Mountain and surrounding areas quickly cover the sky around Table Mountain, resulting in a significant decrease in visibility. People in neighboring areas can also smell a strong smell of soot. Berg winds, which are hot, dry winds blowing from the mountains to the coast, combined with the dry grasslands are a great recipe for fires.
