The Cederberg Protection Status Map was clipped from the SA Vegetation Map- Beta Version 4. The map was clipped to the Greater Cederberg Biodiversity Corridor planning domain boundary. The SA Vegetation Map is the result of a collaborative project involving about 60 individuals from a number of organizations. The final version of this SA Vegetation Map will be published together with a book providing descriptions of vegetation types later in 2004. The attribute accuracy of the SA Vegetation Map and related products has been checked, where possible, through peer review. The logical consistency, completeness and horizontal positional accuracy of the map were also assessed. For additional information on the SA Vegmap and related products, consult the Vegmap handbook (to be released end of 2004). For additional information on the Greater Cederberg Biodiversity Corridor vegetation map, refer to the Cederberg Technical report. Although the greatest care has been taken to ensure that the information we serve is up to date and spatially accurate, the BGIS unit and its partner organizations give no warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy, reliability, utility or completeness of this information. Users of this information assume all responsibility and risk.

The SANBI-INR IAPs layer was developed through a collaboration between SANBI and the Institute of Natural Resources as part of the Ecological Infrastructure for Water Security (EI4WS) project. The data was derived from expert workshops conducted with individuals who had knowledge about invasive alien plant species in the catchment. Through virtual workshops the “experts” identified areas they were familiar with to provide information about invasive infestation therein. Areas that experts could not provide information for or had low confidence about were assessed through field visits to verify and fill data gaps. In the context of the project, the experts referred to are local stakeholders that have been involved in IAPs clearing projects and are familiar with the types of IAP species present in the Berg-Breede catchment. The SANBI-INR IAPs layer was developed through various stages as indicated below: Segment and data preparation – which involved developing the segments layer using Segment Mean Shift tool in ArcMap. Thereafter, a structured attribute table and domains were created. Engagement with experts/specialists to capture data on IAPs types and distribution patterns within the segments. In-field mapping and verification to verify the data captured on desktop and to fill in gaps for where there was no data. Incorporation of existing IAPs data from various sources. The project only focused on the following IAP woody species through consultation with various stakeholders: Port Jackson Long-leafed wattle Stinkbean Australian myrtle Blackwood Willows Poplar Rooikrans Hakea Black wattle Eucalyptus sp. Pine sp.
