Being Green - 14 May 2021

--:--
United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization’s regional director for Southern Africa, Professor Hubert Gijzen, visited both the University of Cape Town and the Cape Floral Region Protected Area on Tuesday to assess the damage following the devastating mountain fire in April. As UNESCO has accorded the Cape Floral Kingdom World Heritage status, Glynis Crook spoke to him after his visit to find out what, if any assistance the organisation will be offering to rehabilitate the vegetation. The fire burnt some 600 hectares of land and destroyed or damaged 11 structures, including UCT’s Jagger Library. They also spoke about the role UNESCO might play, through its Memory of the World programme, to help protect special collections in the university’s libraries.
