The Kogelberg Villages Environmental Trust (KVET) is a community-run non-profit organization representing the ecological interests of Betty's Bay, Kleinmond, Pringle Bay, and Rooiels.
In 2022, concerned residents of the Kogelberg Villages region came together to identify community-driven solutions for the environmental challenges facing our region, hence the formation of The Kogelberg Villages Environmental Trustees (KVET) now a Non-Profit Organization (Registration No.: 287-258 NPO).
KVET understands that we are fortunate to live in and around the UNESCO Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve and Marine Protected Area, a unique biosphere shared by both humans and wildlife and that we have a responsibility to not only protect our unique environment but to also serve our human communities and establish a harmonious co-existence.
Protection of our Flora and Fauna is important for the long-term sustainability of our local environment and KVET is dedicated to informing and educating our residents and visitors so that we may all benefit from the nature that surrounds us.
The Board is comprised of local residents of the villages of the Kogelberg Village and the organisation is actively seeking further input and membership from the community.
The KVET Constitution can be found at this link.
KVET understands that both humans and wildlife share our unique biosphere, and that our different needs do not necessarily stand in opposition.
