This morning, our reserve manager received an exciting camera trap alert of a leopard sighting.

Witness the beauty of success in conservation efforts with the Grootbos Foundation!
At first glance, this photo may seem unassuming, but to those who understand, it's a testament to remarkable progress. Here, we see the thriving growth of Leucadendron elimense in a servitude block at Lomond, a member of the Walker Bay Fynbos Conservancy. Elimense is a rare and endangered plant species native to Elim Ferricrete Fynbos, a vegetation type facing critical endangerment.
This image showcases the tangible impact of the dedicated work carried out by our Conservation Research team every single day. Each new leaf and blossom signifies a step forward in our mission to preserve and protect our precious natural heritage.
