Hike in the Kogelberg, a habitat for fynbos. Creeks are often dyed a dark color by tannins from the plants. #fynbos #plants #hiking #southafrica

A gorgeous hike in the Kogelberg. Heaven on Earth, and the center of the Cape Floral Kingdom. Plants here have greater species biodiversity than rainforests. #southafrica #africa #photography #photographer #floral #plants #fynbos #westerncape #heaven #beauty

Leopards adapted to South Africa's Cape so successfully that they're genetically unique Animals of the same species don't always look the same. From birds with different beak shapes to mammals that vary in size or color, populations living in different places can often look very differen...

My local leopards are genetically unique!

Nice new study on the Cape Leopard - which I think we shd rename to #Fynbos Leopard, because that's more or less what it is

Restios, a reed-like plant member of the fynbos, can be found across the Cape Floral Kingdom in South Africa. Great coloration - it creates a striking contrast in gardens. #restio #fynbos #plants #southafrica

Fynbos plants, like this erica bush, look wonderfully alien. You find flora on the Western Cape of South Africa unlike anywhere else. #fynbos #plants #flowers #southafrica #africa #photography #photographer

What a cool outcome of the @dfg.de SPP EarthShape - one of the cornerstones of #TERRA.
In the first #TERRA FUNs (Focus Units), just approved, #wildfire will be targeted in South Africa #Fynbos Biome & in models on #savannah C4 ecosystems under global change:
Let's generalize nutrient cycle impacts 😀

Restio seeds depend upon wind dispersal. #southafrica #plants #fynbos

Restio plants have a cool color pattern. #fynbos #southafrica #plants

Some would say that a mighty tree has fallen, but William would have laughed at that. He was a champion of open ecosystems, grasses, restios, #fynbos shrubs, and encouraged us to rethink the primacy of #trees and closed-canopy #forests in so much ecological & #conservation thinking. A fun man, too.
