PBPTW: Renosterveld priority clusters (Drakenstein Municipality) 2006

Layer designating renosterveld conservation priority clusters and the area surrounding the natural vegetation up to 500m (a 500m buffer). The patches of remaining lowland habitat within priority clusters were identified by the Cape Lowlands Renosterveld Project as critical for conserving biodiversity pattern and ecological processes of lowland renosterveld.

Purpose

The layer is one of several aimed at guiding conservation action. The renosterveld priority clusters layer indicates which lowland renosterveld areas should be the focus of implementation initiatives (e.g.CapeNature’s Stewardship Programme) over the next 20 years, in order to secure the protection of their biodiversity by means of long-term conservation agreements.

Statement

The priority clusters GIS layer was based on the systematic conservation planning outputs of the Cape Lowlands Renosterveld Project. Important considerations for identifying these areas include biodiversity significance in terms of patterns and

processes and habitat connectivity.
