Re-Fyn – putting Cape heath vegetation (Fynbos) back

Irma C. Knevel

RE-FYN: Cape Heath Vegetation, known as Fynbos, is a unique South African vegetation type. The Grassy Fynbos studied in this project is strongly neglected by conservation organizations in South Africa. Of the 59 413 km2 of Grassy Fynbos, only few areas are protected (16%).
