The grassland region of South Africa is known as

The grassland region of South Africa is known as the Veld (or Veldt). These grasslands are primarily located in the interior plateau of southern Africa [1]. They are categorized based on elevation and climate: the High Veld consists of temperate grasslands at higher altitudes (4,000–6,000 feet), while the Low Veld or Bush-veld represents more tropical savanna-like regions at lower elevations [2]. In contrast, Selvas refers to the tropical rainforests of the Amazon basin, and Llanos refers to the tropical savannas of the Orinoco basin in Venezuela and Colombia [4]. The Downs are temperate grasslands found in the Murray-Darling basin of Australia [2]. The Veld is characterized by vast stretches of grass and low shrubs, supporting diverse wildlife and serving as a critical resource for livestock grazing in South Africa [5].
