Handel in lewende plante, veral skaars en endemiese vetplante en pachycauls (wat die kremetart en halfmens insluit), het die hoogte ingeskiet as 'n groeiende sektor - wat 'n bedreiging vir seldsame spesies in Namibië inhou. Luidens die verslag oor wildbeskerming en wetstoepassing in Namibië vir 2022 is die eerste sake eers verlede jaar aanhangig gemaak. Daar is egter reeds op groot hoeveelhede lewende plante beslag gelê en talle verdagtes is in hegtenis geneem. Luidens die verslag is 11 sake verlede jaar geregistreer, met 22 verdagtes wat in hegtenis geneem is. Twee van die mense is skuldig bevind. Die data sluit slegs arrestasies in wat verband hou met lewende plante. Arrestasies in verband met hout word tans nie volledig in die databasis vasgelê nie.

Trade in live plants, especially rare and endemic succulents and pachycauls (which includes the custard apple and half-man), has skyrocketed as a growing sector - posing a threat to rare species in Namibia. According to the report on wildlife protection and law enforcement in Namibia for 2022, the first cases were only filed last year. However, large quantities of live plants have already been seized and numerous suspects have been arrested. According to the report, 11 cases were registered last year, with 22 suspects arrested. Two of the people were found guilty. The data only includes arrests related to live plants. Arrests in connection with timber are currently not fully captured in the database.
