FLORA & FAUNA   

	The Waterberg contains three broad habitat types. They are: the sour bushveld; the steep slopes, cliffs and bare rock faces; and the riverbeds and wetland areas. The sour bushveld occurs largely on sandy, leached soils which are poor in nutrients. It is today more often referred to as the Waterberg Moist Mountain Bushveld Savanna.

The Waterberg Biosphere Reserve is home to 129 mammal, 350 bird and over 2,000 plant species with a number of endemic or red data butterfly, fish and reptile species, making it an extremely important conservation area.
