The term "Veld" refers to a type of open grassland found primarily in South Africa and Namibia. It is characterized by its diverse vegetation, which includes grasses, shrubs, and occasional trees. The Veld is an important ecosystem that supports various wildlife species and is often used for grazing livestock. There are different types of Veld, including Highveld, Lowveld, and Karoo, each with distinct climate and vegetation. The Highveld is known for its cooler temperatures and higher altitude, while the Lowveld is warmer and more humid. The Veld plays a crucial role in the local economy, particularly in agriculture and tourism.
