Revision of the Gauteng Conservation Plan (C-Plan v4.0 2023)
The Gauteng Conservation Plan was first developed in 2001 (C-Plan version 1). This plan was revised in 2005 with the production of C-Plan version 2 and later refined in 2007 with C-Plan version 2.1. From late 2010 work began on C-Plan version 3 with version 3.1 produced in July 2011, version 3.2 in September 2011 and finally C-Plan version 3.3 in September 2011.
This Conservation plan version 4 of 2024 is the latest iteration in this process.
The Gauteng C-Plan provides a blue-print for the conservation of biodiversity in the province, the areas earmarked in the conservation plan are also important ecological infrastructure that deliver a range of ecosystem services to society. These have significant benefits to the residents of the province and underpin sustainable development in the province. The benefits of these ecosystems are numerous including climate change.

- Purpose
-
The purpose of the Gauteng C-Plan is to identify and map areas that are of importance to biodiversity protection in Gauteng through a systematic and empirical conservation-planning programme, and to provide recommendations and policy strategies for the conservation and management of these areas.
The Gauteng C-Plan Map is a spatial plan for ecological sustainability. It is a form of strategic planning for the natural environment, providing a coherent and systematically identified set of geographic priorities to inform planning, action and decision-making in support of sustainable development.
The main aims of Gauteng Conservation Plan Version 4.0 are to:
• Guide protected area expansion and biodiversity stewardship programmes in the province.
• Ensure the conservation of natural habitats and biodiversity to maintain ecological processes and combating climate change.
• Serve as the basis for biodiversity inputs into land use planning processes in the province for sustainable land use management.
• Serve as the basis for biodiversity inputs into bioregional plans for municipalities and metros within the province.
• Serve as an informant for the biodiversity component of Offsetting, Basic Assessment and Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) processes.
