This is part 2 of 5-part video diary entry covering a visit with Conservation South Africa (CSA)  to climate adaptation projects in Namaqualand, Northern Cape.   Here we visit Vera Engelbrecht, a local tourism entrepreneur in Leliefontein, and hear about her efforts to generate an income in the beautiful but isolated town of Leliefontein, which sees many visitors during the wildflower season in early spring, but little else for the rest of the year.    Vera's interview is in Afrikaans, but interviewer Malinda Gardiner of CSA introduces us to the project and summarizes in English.
