The Barberton Makhonjwa Geotrail
Barberton Mountains are from the Archaean period that date back as far as 3.2 to 3.57 billion years. Habitats range from Afromontane forest, through montane grassland, savanna and wetlands. Almost 1 500 plant species have been identified in the Barberton Greenstone Belt. These include the endangered and endemic woolly cycad, the restricted and rare Encephalartos paucidentatus, and the rare endemic protea, Protea comptonii.
The area is home to over 300 species of birds and many mammals such as antelope, leopard, caracal and a wide range of smaller creatures. Several insect species are restricted to the Greenstone Belt. Butterflies are abundant and Barbara’s copper, Jeffery’s and Swanepoel’s blue are found nowhere else in the world.
