Local corridors were generated for each district Individually and were

merged. The attribute table was edited so as to ensure all fields are

consistent. Each of the districts were developed as follows:

Amajuba & UMzinyathi Districts

[Amajuba_loccorr_wll_fin17032014]

[Umzinyathi_loccorr_wll_fin17032014]

Generated by Eco Pulse and Thorn Ex consortium in the development of the local knowledge input for the Amajuba and UMzinyathi district Biodiversity Sector Plans. Criteria used, was the connection of EKZNW landscape corridors to important biodiversity areas (PAs, stewardship sites, CCAs, and CBAs) along areas of unmodified or old lands.

ILembe, UMgungundlovu, Harry Gwala (Sisonke) Districts

[Ilembe_loccorr_wll_fin17032014]

[Umgungundlovu_loccorr_wll_fin17032014]

[Ugu_Sisonke_loccorr_wll_fin13032014]

Generated by Ezemvelo in the development of the Biodiversity Sector Plans for the 3 districts. Criteria used was the connection of important biodiversity areas (PAs, stewardship sites, CCAs, and CBAs) along areas of unmodified lands.

Ugu District

[Ugu_Sisonke_loccorr_wll_fin13032014]

Generated through the amendment of the Ezemvelo landscape corridors. Where corridors that did not comply with landscape criteria, due to modification of landscape, local corridors were created were possible.

Zululand, UThukela Districts

[Zululand_BSP_loccorr_fin13082014.wll]

[uThukela_BSP_loccorrs_29082014]
