The Weza Forest is also known as the Weza-Ngele Forest and is situated near Harding, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. This is a large Mistbelt Forest which has long been exploited for timber. The forest has been fragmented and reduced in size over many decades.

Biodiversity

It is an important site for the endangered Cape parrot (Poicephalus robustus robustus). A species of Dwarf Chameleon lives here which is related to, or conspecific with the black-headed dwarf chameleon. The Critically Endangered pink velvet worm (Opisthopatus roseus) is only known to occur in Weza Forest.
