This cache was placed on one of our many trips on the backroads in the area. We will usually travers these roads on our Adventure Bikes, however, today we were in our trusty Cache Mobile.
In 2004, the Cape floral region was declared a world heritage site by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation.
The Cape floral region, in the southwest corner of South Africa in the Western Cape, consists of 13 clusters, spanning 1,094,741 hectares. It is one of the world’s most unique regions in terms of plant diversity, and 70% of the plant species do not grow anywhere else in the world.
The Cape Floral Region has 13 clusters of which Anysberg is one. Each of the 13 clusters is home to distinct plant species and is large enough to preserve the genetic viability of this diversity.
The world heritage site is managed by the Cape Action for People and the Environment programme. The programme coordinates the work of government and private landowners to protect the region’s biodiversity through integrated social, financial and conservation initiatives.
