Limietberg Nature Reserve lies in the Du Toitskloof mountains near Paarl,
forming a part of the greater Boland mountain range. The reserve stretches from
Franschhoek in the south, eastwards towards Groot Drakenstein, and northwards as
far as Voëlvlei dam, covering an area of some 117 000 ha. The terrain is rugged,
with steep kloofs and deep valleys. Du Toits Peak at 1996m is the highest point
within the reserve. Limietberg is an important water catchment for the Breede
and Berg rivers which flow through the reserve, and feed the Wemmershoek,
Stettynskloof, Theewaterskloof and Voëlvlei dams. Cape Nature is looking for two qualified Field Rangers.

- Limbe Wildlife Centre in SW Cameroon takes care of infant primates that are lucky enough to be rescued from the illegal pet trade. In November 2007, ACF, ERuDeF and Daniel Taylor organised an art workshop with 13 Cameroonian artists in the centre in order to raise awareness and funding for great apes conservation.
