George Municipality proudly joins the global community in commemorating International Biodiversity Day,
a day dedicated to raising awareness and understanding of biodiversity issues worldwide.

As part of our commitment to sustainability and environmental protection,
the Municipality actively implements and supports a range of biodiversity-focused initiatives. These include:

🌱 Environmental awareness programmes that educate and empower our communities
♻️ Responsible waste management practices that help build a cleaner, greener environment
🚫 Ongoing efforts to manage and remove invasive alien plant species
🌍 Support for regional conservation programmes that safeguard our natural heritage

We also recognize and protect areas within our region that are rich in biodiversity, such as the Garden Route Botanical Garden, where this photo was taken. These spaces are vital not only for ecological health but also for recreation, education, and long-term sustainability.

On this special day, we encourage all our residents and partners to join us in celebrating and protecting our rich and unique biodiversity.

Every action count in preserving the natural environment for current and future generations.
