What Causes of veld deterioration?

Veld deterioration is primarily caused by overgrazing, where livestock consume vegetation faster than it can regenerate, leading to soil erosion and loss of plant diversity. Invasive species can also contribute by outcompeting native flora, disrupting local ecosystems. Additionally, factors such as climate change, altered rainfall patterns, and fire suppression techniques can further exacerbate the degradation of veld ecosystems. Together, these causes can significantly impact biodiversity and the health of the environment.
