The Karkloof Conservancy covers an expanse of about 40 000 ha in the Karkloof, KwaZulu-Natal (15km outside Howick).
Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife has identified the Karkloof as being of significant value in terms of conservation and has earmarked it as a “biodiversity hotspot”. The area includes pristine wetlands, mistbelt grasslands and huge tracts of mistbelt forest, which are all protected biomes. Numerous endemic and near-endemic species of fauna and flora thrive in this unique environment.
Birdlife South Africa have also formally recognised 25 700 ha within the Karkloof Conservancy as an Important Bird and Biodiversity Area.
We hope that all who visit the Karkloof will contribute sightings of what they see in order to help us build onto our current knowledge about the incredible biodiversity found here.
