CWBR in the Media
To increase our sphere of influence and raise awareness of biosphere reserves the CWBR makes an active effort to feature in a variety of communication channels such as documentaries, a flip-book on biosphere reserves, newspapers, broadcasts, and the UNESCO Proud to Share initiative.
The CWBR regularly presents at conservation events, talks, demonstrations and exhibitions, which have been broadcast on national television and in the press, as well as internationally.

GUINNESS WORLD RECORD
Guiness world Record 2018 La Source painting by Charles Frank
The world record painting, La Source, project was developed to bring attention to the importance of preserving the Berg river-an extremely important Cape water resource. The artwork was displayed locally and in Europe, at the Dutch Annual Art fair in Amsterdam, and in Luxembourg. This resulted in widespread awareness of the CWBR and the projects involved in preserving and improving the water quality in the Berg river.
Unveiling of the painting at Haut Espoir Winery in Franschhoek during the Uncorked Festival, 13th-15th September 2018
