An earlier national protected areas layer, prepared for the NSBA project was used as the starting point, and was updated to reflect the current state of protected areas in South Africa. This included the addition of new reserves, changes to protected areas, and correction of identified errors. Data for formal protected areas was updated based on data received from SANParks, and the following provinces: Northwest, Northern Cape, Gauteng, Mpumalanga, Western Cape and Eastern Cape. Previously used categories of protected areas were retained in the <Spec_Type> field, but were categorized into Formal_A, Formal_B, and Informal Conservation Area System categories in the <PA_Categ> field (see Table 1), as part of the National Protected Areas Expansion Conservation Assessment. Note that the dataset can be considered fairly reliable for the formal protected area system, but is known to contain significant errors and omissions in the Informal Conservation Area system data. NOTE - Only the Formal A protected areas were provided as part of the CBA maps.
