Global spotlight on the tiny Tradouw redfin

10/8/2025

The Tradouw redfin – a small freshwater fish found only in the Grootvadersbosch region and teetering on the brink of extinction – has just earned global recognition. This fynbos fish is the focus of an award-winning Grootvadersbosch Conservancy project, named one of just nine winners worldwide in the 2025 Reverse the Red Accelerator Awards.

The Accelerator Awards are an initiative of Reverse the Red, a global coalition working to help countries and partners reverse the negative trends reflected in the IUCN Red List.

On 10 September, the Grootvadersbosch Conservancy hosted a meeting to share the new action plan for the Tradouw Redfin. The meeting was attended by representatives from CapeNature, Breede-Olifants Catchment Management Agency, Gouritz Cluster Biosphere Reserve, World Wildlife Fund, the Department of Environmental Affairs and Development Planning (DEA&DP), and the the Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS). Thank you to everyone who joined us on a lovely spring day.

During the day, participants rolled up their sleeves to take direct action—planting trees and riparian plants along the river and picking up litter. It was inspiring to see our community actively contributing to the health of our local river.
