The unique flora of Table Mountain is under considerable human pressure because it is surrounded by a major metropolitan area. A vegetation survey from aerial photographs and ground checks to ascertain the impact of humans, fire and alien plants and animals indicated a poor conservation status. Consolidation of ownership and detailed ecological research are essential for co-ordinated management.
