Of jy nou 'n grondeienaar of bestuurder van 'n stuk natuurlike veld in die Kaap, of 'n besoeker aan hierdie unieke deel van Afrika is, neem dit jou nie lank om die merkwaardige rykdom van die streek te waardeer nie. Bergreekse, valleie, kusgebiede en vleilande dra by tot 'n ongeewenaarde biodiversiteit van wereldwye belang - in so 'n mate dat groot dele daarvan Werelderfenis-status verwerf het. Hierdie boek is 'n gids om besoekers, inwoners, bestuurders of eienaars van grond in die Fynbosbioom te help om die uitsonderlike rykdom te waardeer en te bestuur. Deur te put uit die omvattende kennis van navorsers en bestuurders in die Fynbos Forum-gemeenskap, het ons gepoog om `n praktiese, toeganglike stuk gereedskap vir die verbetering van grondbestuur in die Fynbosbioom daar te stel, en om die jongste wetenskaplike kennis oor die bestuur van hierdie globaal belangrike, ryk ekostelsel te deel.

The fynbos region is one of the most spectacularly diverse places on Earth. This is not an idle statement. When one considers the diversity of insects, freshwater and marine species also associated with the Cape, this hotspot is arguably the hottest of all. It is also confusingly heterogeneous, with a diversity of fine-scale habitats, from wetlands in the lowlands to seeps in the mountains, unique soil, nutrient, aspect and rainfall conditions, all of which combine to sustain and drive this diversity. Fynbos is a fire-adapted vegetation and needs fire to sustain itself: without fire the vegetation would thicken and senesce, permit trees to enter and dominate the system, and eventually exclude the precious nutrients liberated by fire and which the system depends upon for rejuvenation. This book is a guide that will help people who visit, live, manage or own land in the Fynbos Biome to appreciate and manage its extraordinary natural richness.
