15th December 2009 - What has happened to the old 'Butterfly Sanctuary'?
We started this new project in November 2008 as 'Conservation of Butterflies in South Africa' had to vacate the neighboring property on which the Ramsgate Butterfly Sanctuary was established in 2001. This was to avoid legal prosecution by government departments for non compliance in the buildings erected prior to our occupation. It is public knowledge that legal proceedings have been instituted against the owner and landlord for compensation.

We have acquired the property adjacent to what was known as the 'Butterfly Sanctuary', which is now called the 'Butterfly Valley'. Huge strides have been made in the development of the new 'Ramsgate Butterfly Sanctuary'. We are hoping to have this ready in 2012. Email us at updates@ramsgatebutterflysanctuary.co.za and we will keep you informed of all developments.
