Despite its immense ecological and social value, the fynbos biome is one of the world’s most threatened ecosystems.

In addition to the ecological pressures facing the city, Cape Town also continues to battle numerous social challenges. In response to these ecological and social challenges, the need for community-led fynbos rehabilitation in Cape Town is gaining traction. However, while well-intentioned, these numerous fynbos rehabilitation projects tend to be isolated and uncoordinated and, as a result, are limited in their impact. As a response to this situation, the Fynbos Corridor Collaboration was established in 2018.
