A fire that started in the Tygerberg Nature Reserve in Plattekloof on Wednesday morning has been extinguished. The reserve holds the most endangered vegetation in the Cape floral kingdom, known as Renosterveld, which is prone to fires and largely threatened by farming because its soil is fertile.
The vegetation contains rare and endangered plants and animals, including the Cape dwarf chameleon, the Spinnekopblom, and the geometric tortoise.
