Through the project, around 30,000 hectares have been cleared on the Agulhas Plain in year two, and around 250 jobs have been created.
Taking nature education to our children
Environmental education in the Overberg received a boost – thanks to the Agulhas Biodiversity Initiative (ABI) Small Grants Programme.
