Kogelberg Biosphere

The Kogelberg Biosphere, designated by UNESCO, aims to protect this vast natural wonder. The reserve starts on the mountains above Gordon's Bay, and includes land, sea and towns along the coast to just above Hermanus. It stretches inland past the town of Botriver and encompasses the growing economic hub of Grabouw. The Kogelberg Biosphere covers around 100 000 hectares - an area larger than Singapore.
The biosphere finds local solutions to global problems - by bringing our members together. Across the world, humankind has been using natural resources unsustainably, to our own detriment. The result is a loss of biodiversity and cultural heritage, risks to water and food security, increased poverty and a changing climate.
In the Kogelberg we seek to address this, reconciling conservation with sustainable development - to benefit all.
