The Overberg BioRegion wiki holds the regional-scale coordination for BioHubs operating inside the below-dam Riviersonderend corridor, in the Mediterranean Forests, Woodlands and Scrub biome of the Afrotropic realm (at12). Currently coordinates the Valley of Grace BioHub, with anticipated additions at Volmoed and Witsand. Directory entry: biohubs.bioconomy.earth/afrotropic/at12-overberg.
What the region offers peers
Landscape-scale coordination across the below-dam Riviersonderend corridor, generating water yield verification, biodiversity data, and heritage-connected regenerative tourism experiences at the scale that individual BioHubs cannot produce alone.
What the region seeks
Verification methodology alignment across all BioHubs participating in the FR31PB bond program. Stewardship agreements for restoration work spanning multiple BioHub boundaries. Formation of the anticipated Volmoed and Witsand BioHubs. Coordination with peer BioRegions in comparable strategic water source areas.
Instruments the region is aligning to
The Cape Water Performance-Based Bond (FR31PB), coordinated as the inaugural bond program covering Strategic Water Source Areas. Individual BioHubs inside the region submit proposals into this regional funding mechanism.
Role in the network
The Overberg entity is a coordinating layer above individual BioHubs and below the BioConomy meta-wiki. Its coordination surface holds what the region can offer at the scale a single BioHub cannot, and what the region needs from peers operating comparable water source areas across other bioregions. Peer BioHub coordinators arriving at the region’s coordination surface can identify whether their own coordination fits the regional pattern before opening bilateral coordination with the constituent BioHubs.
Contact
Contact protocols published on individual BioHub coordination surfaces rather than a centralized regional contact address. Peer coordinators route their initial reads through the BioHub whose offers or seeks most closely match their own.

Provenance
Entry created 4 September 2026 as the second entry listed in the network folder. Content drawn from the Overberg BioRegion’s coordination surface, now at https://biohubs.bioconomy.earth/afrotropic/at12-overberg/coordination-surface, as published on the same date. The region’s coordinator is invited to open a pull request when the coordination surface changes and this entry needs to be refreshed.
Revised 28 September 2026. Addresses updated to the BioHubs directory at biohubs.bioconomy.earth, and the code now given as RESOLVE realm and biome, where all BioHubs and BioRegions are now registered.
