Endangered Species

Grassy Park Community: Endangered Species – almost extinct in your Community. Have you heard of the Barber`s Cape Flats Ranger Butterfly (Kedestes). It only occurs in one, very small, location in the world which happens to be around the corner in the False Bay Nature Reserve and surrounds. There are only 50 known Butterflies in existence in this space and Nature Conservationists & Rangers have been hard at work since 2017 trying to re-introduce Barber`s Cape Flats Ranger Butterfly into the spaces it historically occured – in our local environment and communities – lost due to the rapid urbanisation of our local communities . A captive rearing and breeding program the Kedestes Butterfly Conservation Project is underway to boost its numbers Get out there – appreciate our local natural environment deeply, tread lightly in Community Spirit grassy park, cape town, south africa
