Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve

One of the hot spots of plant diversity in the world with many rare and exclusive species, the rugged mountain water catchment area known as Kogelberg is now the heart of an internationally-recognized biosphere reserve. This little guide is an introduction to the reserve through a series of shot images accompanied by brief descriptions. It is an album of a scenic fynbos wonderland just 40 km east of Cape Town, which is at the core of the reserve. This mountainous and coastal core is buffered by farmland, recreational resorts and major wetland systems that lie within the reserves 100,000 hectare expanse. For the many who visit, live and make their living in the Kogelberg reserve, play in it, draw water from it and eat of its fruits, this book is a precious reminder of the beauty of the natural environment and the urgent need to sustain it.
