On 27 January 2025 the Northern Cape Government gazetted the declaration of the Avontuur Nature Reserve. This was the outcome of many years’ worth of hard work and persistence on the part of WWF, Avontuur Sustainable Agriculture and the Northern Cape Department of Agriculture, Environmental Affairs, Rural Development and Land Reform, and we would like to thank all of our partners for this great achievement. Legal status as a nature reserve means that the biodiversity treasures of Avontuur can be preserved in perpetuity for future generations.
