The San bushmen respected the natural environment by relying on sustainable hunting and gathering practices, moving frequently to avoid overexploitation of resources, and adhering to traditional knowledge and rituals that reinforced their spiritual connection to nature.

The Bushmen, or San people of Southern Africa, have traditionally worn minimal clothing made from natural materials like animal hides and plant fibers, which are well-suited to their arid environment. Their clothing is designed for practicality, providing protection from the sun and elements while allowing freedom of movement for hunting and gathering. Over time, as they have interacted with modern society, some Bushmen have adapted to wearing contemporary clothing while still incorporating traditional styles and materials, reflecting a blend of their cultural heritage and modern influences. These adaptations demonstrate their resilience and ability to navigate changing circumstances while maintaining their identity.

The San people, also known as the Bushmen, traditionally stored water using natural materials and techniques suited to their environment. They often used ostrich eggshells to hold small amounts of water, as the shells can be sealed and transported easily. Additionally, they would dig shallow wells in riverbeds or use natural containers like hollowed-out gourds. Their deep understanding of the landscape allowed them to find and conserve water effectively in arid conditions.
