Into the age of molecular biology Students prepare samples for phylogenetic studies in the Leslie Hill Molecular Laboratory. One of the remarkable features of the research programme at Kirstenbosch is its breadth and depth. Following the wonderful philosophy of Rene Dubos – think globally, act locally’ – the research agenda includes studies at the global scale (on climate-change modelling); at the continental scale (on plant taxonomy); at the national scale (biodiversity assessments, species conservation, vegetation mapping); and down to the molecular scale (studies on the evolution and relationships of selected plant and animal groups).

Although Kirstenbosch researchers played no part in the Fynbos Biome Project itself, the KRC and the Centre for Biodiversity Conservation (CBC), have provided the institutional and physical home for the audaciously ambitious, and highly successful Cape Action for People and the Environment (CAPE) programme.

Happily, the sponsorship tradition has been continued by long-time Kirstenbosch supporter Old Mutual. Income generated from
