A team of conservation heroes have now come together to save the home of the Albertina Sisulu Orchid at Sugarbush Ridges, in an effort to bring about conservation

Professor Neil Crouch was presented with the Marloth Medal in a light-hearted ceremony at the Durban Botanic Gardens on Monday, 22 October.

The Overberg area is also home to several fantastic conservation organisations that work tirelessly to conserve threatened habitats in this area.

Have you ever watched the birds in your garden and wondered what they eat and how far they have flown to get there? In cities, where habitat is being lost, many birds that rely on pollen are having to travel further in order to find food. This journey not only puts them at risk, but also the plants that they pollinate. An organisation working in the Cape Flats is looking to address this threat, by creating stepping stones for birds. CEINWEN SMITH and JOEL SIMONS explain.
