About Cape Floral Region Protected Areas
The Cape Floral Region is a serial World Heritage Site: thirteen separate protected areas across the Western and Eastern Cape that together protect the fynbos biome, the smallest and, for its size, the richest of the world's six floral kingdoms. Table Mountain, the Cederberg, the Boland mountains, De Hoop, the Swartberg, Boosmansbos, Baviaanskloof and others are its components. About 9,000 plant species grow here and nearly seventy percent occur nowhere else. In practice this means hiking, spring flowers, proteas and sugarbirds, and a large share of the Western Cape's best stays sit inside or beside one of the component reserves.
