In April, the City of Cape Town called on its citizens to defend its City Nature Challenge crown, and that’s exactly what Capetonians did.
The Mother City managed to nab the second place, a huge victory when you consider that 450 cities participated in the challenge. ‘I am extremely proud of all of those residents who participated in this challenge. Your explorations and photos of our city’s diverse plant and animal life made its mark.
The competition managed to get residents snapping pics with their phones as the competition took place between 29 April and 2 May 2022. Capetonians were encouraged to explore all that our beautiful city has to offer by heading to their favourite nature reserve and natural open spaces, recording all the local plant and animal species over the four days. Participants were required to download the iNaturalist.com app and share their observations by uploading all of their findings on the app.
While the competition saw various cities across the world compete for the title, neighbouring cities within our province had their loyalties tested too. Residents spent their long weekend exploring the beauty of the West Coast, Stellenbosch, Overstrand and Southern Overberg – what a treat!
