Grahamstown is situated in an area of great biological diversity, where a range of biomes and land uses are found: from subtropical thicket to grasslands, savannas and the Karoo, and from dairy farming to communal rangelands and wildlife conservation. The Congress aimed to reflect the great diversity of rangeland types, uses and challenges found around Grahamstown.
