The grasslands of KwaZulu-Natal are in serious danger. Threatened
by excessive afforestation for the paper industry and by farming,
housing schemes and insensitive development, our grassland biodiversity
is declining.
 The
Grassland Conservation Project is an attempt to provide a safe refuge
for grassland plants that are threatened by habitat destruction.
The full horticultural and medicinal potential of many of our
plants remain to be researched.
To enable all South Africans to benefit from our exceptionally
diverse grasslands, we are conserving and promoting grassland plants.
