A new, richly illustrated children’s book is hoping to inspire a lifelong love of nature by telling the story of one of South Africa’s most threatened birds – the Black Harrier, BirdLife South Africa’s Bird of the Year for 2026.
One of the greatest supposed solutions to climate change on a global scale is proving to be one of the greatest conservation challenges facing the Overberg today.
In the heart of the Overberg, within one of the world’s most threatened ecosystems, a renosterveld species has waited for millennia to be officially recognised.
Less than 5% of renosterveld remains today. Much of what survives exists on privately owned farmland.
Protected fragments of renosterveld across the Overberg are starting to form something far more meaningful than isolated patches.
