NBA2018_Terrestrial Ecosystem Threat Status and Protection level remaining extent
NBA2018_Terrestrial Ecosystem Threat Status and Protection level remaining extent layer is associated with the NBA2018_Terrestrial Ecosystem Threat Status and Protection level. While the a NBA2018_Terrestrial Ecosystem Threat Status and Protection level remaining extent provides the data for Protection level and threat status for the historical (pre 1750AD) extent of the terrestrial ecosystems, this layer shows the protection level and threat status of the current remaining extent of terrestrial ecosystems. More detail can be found in NBA 2018 Technical Report Volume 1: Terrestrial Realm, http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12143/6370

- Date (Creation)
- Purpose
-
Ecosystem Threat Status and Protection level was calculated as part of the National Biodiversity Assessment process for 2018. These two metrics indicate the current status and protection level of South Africa’s ecosystems as determined by the National Biodiversity Assessment 2018 process. The data forms the foundation for many land use decision processes including conservation planning.

The National Biodiversity Assessment 2018 Technical Report Volume 1: Terrestrial Realm is an essential resource to understand how these statistics were calculated. The document includes a description of the approach used, important deviation from previous assessments and vital information such as which input datasets were used.

- Hierarchy level
- Dataset
- Statement
-
The status and protection levels calculated for the NBA 2018 are based on the 2018 National Vegetation Map and the 2009 and 2014 land cover datasets. The IUCN ecosystem assessment method was applied. Previous National Biodiversity Assessments (i.e. 2011 and 2004) produced results for threat status and protection level. However, these were not based on the IUCN system. Therefore the results from previous ETS and EPL layers are not comparable over time.
