The Cederberg region of South Africa has identified and restored over 80 unique place names, many dating back centuries. These names, originally used to identify specific locations and properties, were recently assessed for potential extinction. The South African Heritage Council has worked with local communities to document and safeguard these names, recognizing their historical and cultural significance. The restored place names are being incorporated into official records and mapping initiatives, ensuring their continued use and preservation. This effort represents a valuable conservation of local heritage.
