This is the first update since 2006 and includes an edit to shift the 2006 National Vegetation Map polygon for Prince Edward island (which was offset from the imagery of the island in the 2006 version) to its correct position which now aligns with global imagery.

Whilst every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of data, users are advised to use the data and conclusions drawn from its use with caution. Users noting errors and omissions are requested to notify the office of the VEGMAP project (Vegmap@sanbi.org.za) to improve data accuracy. These data are not for resale or replicating. This digital version is in the public domain requiring only the conventional acknowledgement of source in publications and reports. APPROPRIATE USE OF THIS DATASET: The VEGMAP, including data for the Sub-Antarctic Islands, has been created for national purposes and the boundaries of vegetation types are mapped at a coarse scale. While some vegetation types are mapped at a finer scale, these do not map vegetation past the level of subtype. Therefore the vegetation map may act as a guide to the vegetation in a region but is not appropriate for any work requiring fine scale investigations of communities or species beyond the landscape scale. Much of the map still requires field verification. More information on the clarity around appropriate use of the data can be discussed by contacting us. 50000 environment biota 13.359375 36.12304687499999 -36.20882309283711 -21.002471054356718 PROJCS["MaionIsland_LO37",GEOGCS["GCS_WGS_1984",DATUM["D_WGS_1984",SPHEROID["WGS_1984",6378137.0,298.257223563]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0.0],UNIT["Degree",0.0174532925199433]],PROJECTION["Transverse_Mercator"],PARAMETER["False_Easting",0.0],PARAMETER["False_Northing",0.0],PARAMETER["Central_Meridian",37.0],PARAMETER["Scale_Factor",1.0],PARAMETER["Latitude_Of_Origin",0.0],UNIT["Meter",1.0]] South African National Biodiversity Institute bgishelp@sanbi.org ZIP 1 This version of the vegetation map is an update of the 2006 version.
