Copy of record 2021 CapeNature Stewardship Sites (Signed and Designated) created at 2024-10-24T10:49:13Z
CapeNature Stewardship Sites – Sites signed up or declared, including categories, such as Contract Nature Reserves, Biodiversity Agreements, Biodiversity Agreement Servitudes, Reactive sites, Protected Environments & Voluntary Conservation Areas.
The definitions for the statuses are as follows;
Designated - refers to all Nature Reserves (including Contract Nature Reserves) or Protected Environments declared by the Minister or MEC, and subsequently Gazetted (Notice Number provided in Master Stewardship Register). Biodiversity Agreements and Voluntary Conservation Areas do not fall under the NEM: Protected Areas Act and therefore do not get declared.
Signed - means a Protected Area Management Agreement has been signed for the Nature Reserve or Protected Environment but it has not been declared yet.
Registered – applicable to conservation agreement - servitudes, which doesn’t go through the normal process for signing and designation.

The original data was extracted from the various regions stewardship databases.
Since the database is not in working order, updated shapefiles are sent annually to the Programme Manager for Stewardship Sites from the various regions and then onto SS. These updates are added to the latest known update.
The updates for 2014 were done on the base layers as last updated by Genevieve Pence in August 2013. These layers were; (i) Master Stewardship Register_Q4 Jan 2013.xlsx, (ii) StewardshipAll_pluspending_Capenature_16aug2013_utm.xlsx, and (iii) StewardshipAll_pluspending_CapeNature_16Aug2013_utm.shp.
The updates to the Stewardship Sites layer were received from Kerry Purnell on the 3rd of October 2014. The updated spreadsheet was received on the 10th of October 2014.
Various updates were then done in 2015 and 2021 based on the latest Master Stewardship Register and gazettes of declared sites received. Also various corrections of boundaries and names as needed.
