Kogelberg Sandstone Fynbos is acritically endangered vegetation type occurring in the far south of theWestern Cape,South Africa.[1][2]
This type of mountain fynbos contains an extremely high number of threatened species and a great number of the plants that occur here can be found nowhere else on earth. It naturally occurs from the eastern outskirts ofCape Town, eastwards through theKogelberg andHottentots-Holland mountains, as far asKleinmond, and it is conserved within theKogelberg Biosphere Reserve.
This particular vegetation grows on rough, mountainous, sandstone terrain.[3]It was extensively planted with commercial timber plantations of invasivepine trees. These trees pose a major threat to the unique and endangered biodiversity and have yet to be completely removed.[4]
