Help survey biodiversity at these sites, in the process of being proclaimed protected areas

Similar to nature reserves across the City, the sites listed in this project are those managed by eThekwini's Environment Dept. Ownership of these sites may be private, communal, or state-owned.

Data collected in each of these sites contribute to the assessment required to proclaim the site as a protected area. iNat observations as you enjoy being in our city's natural areas ensure that the site's species lists are constantly updated.
