The Living Planet Award is an annual WWF award made to exceptional South Africans who, through their catalytic contribution to the conservation, inspire people to live in harmony with nature.

Due to Covid-19, the 2020 award was made during a special online ceremony on Tuesday, 1 September, which also showcased the splendours of the Succulent Karoo. The Succulent Karoo is a semi-desert biome (or ecological region) that stretches from the Little Karoo to southern Namibia and is home to more than 6,000 plant species, making it the most biodiverse of its kind in the world.
