One of Johannesburg’s last mountain wildlife ecosystems is under critical threat from recently authorized developments.
The Roodekrans Ridge System, with the Walter Sisulu National Botanical Garden at its core, provides sanctuary for a rich array of habitats supporting indigenous fauna and flora, including threatened and endangered species such as rhebuck, Mountain reedbuck, Duiker, Jameson red rock rabbit, Caracal, Black backed jackal, Porcupine, Aardvark and Leopard. International and local visitors flock to this idyllic island of natural beauty to catch a glimpse of the world renowned ‘Black Eagles of Roodekrans’.
