Support the Friends and Neighbours project

Friends and Neighbours: The Other Side of the Fence is a project that is being piloted in Village Heights, an informal settlement in Lavender Hill.

Invasive Species Programme

Non-native species are often introduced to new areas or habitats - intentionally or unintentionally - through the globalisation of trade and transport. Once introduced, alien species can quickly establish and become invasive, consequently posing a threat to biodiversity, ecosystem services and human wellbeing. The City of Cape Town, like many other large and expanding cities globally, is vulnerable to the introduction of new invasive species.

Shark Spotters Programme

The Shark Spotters Programme is the only programme of its kind in the world. It aims to find a balance between recreational water safety and white shark conservation by reducing how close people and sharks get to each other, and reducing the risk of shark bites. Support the programme by donating or becoming a 'spotter.'
