A new reserve has been created in the Klein Karoo region of South Africa’s, Western Cape Province. The Gouritz Cluster Biosphere Reserve as it’s known, has been established primarily to offer protection to the three internationally recognized  biodiversity hotspots that occur there.   It's an area where shortage of water is one of the main factors holding back development and the hope is, that in protecting the hotspots, the water catchments of the region will also be protected and that, along with some changes in how the water is used, this will improve the prospects for the people of the Klein Karoo to be able to raise their standard of living.
