76% Informative

South Africa's Garden Route is home to almost 450 bird species.

BirdLife South Africa aims to draw tourists to the Garden Route and Klein Karoo region.

The region is a bird paradise, with almost 450 species - more than half of the country's native species - found there.

Birdlife South Africa has compiled pages and pages of statistics to prove the economic value of birdwatching.

Visitors learn that the larvae of the Acraea horta butterfly feed on the leaves of the Kiggelaria africana tree species, which contain high levels of hydrocyanic acid, in order to store the poison inside and fend off most predators.

Viljoen is on the way to re-planting the tree species in his botanical garden.
