I am passionate about conservation and ecology and started this NGO to save one of the most Endangered habitats on earth: renosterveld.
I am a South African ecologist (MSc Zoology, PhD Botany) with a passion for our local fauna and flora. I have fallen in love with renosterveld: an extraordinarily rich, but neglected and misunderstood ecosystem. I started the Overberg Lowlands Conservation Trust to try and save this incredible Critically Endangered habitat from extinction. It is my dream to give renosterveld a 'home' and to establish a place where more people can discover the treasures that are hidden here.
