The Welwitschia, an endangered species that can live for 2000 years.

A flower that can only be seen in the Namib Desert of Namibia The endangered Welwitschia🪷 Amazingly, it grows deep roots in this arid place and is said to live for over 2000 years🧐 Its Japanese name is 'Kisou Tengai'! Such an extraordinary name! It is also sometimes called a living fossil!! I was worried because it is an endangered species, but it is properly protected by the country and there were even baby plants, so I was relieved! According to the guide, efforts are being made to surround the plants with stones to prevent non-tour guests from stepping on them and killing them! It's close to the Moon Landscape, so it's great to visit both together◎
