At the southern tip of Africa lies one of the most spectacular paradoxes of nature - the proximity of the lush rainforest belt known as the Garden Route and the semi-desert known as the Little Karoo. This book explores the intricacies of each of these natural worlds.
At the southern tip of Africa lies one of the most spectacular paradoxes of nature - the proximity of the lush rainforest belt known as the Garden Route and the semi-desert known as the Little Karoo. This book explores the intricacies of each of these natural worlds and the history, conflict and tragedy in which they are steeped, reaching back far into the past. It describes in literal and lyrical terms the interdependence of different forms of life (the region's ecology) and the impact of people, residents and visitors alike on the fragile landscape. It offers an insight into the the nature of the many wildlife inhabitants of this region - birds, fish and mammals (including the last surviving elephants) - and their interactions with humans.
