Protected Areas layer for Little Karoo Planning Domain defined by Vlok etal. 2005. PA data based on Cape Nature data, NPAES data, Pasquini Data

Threatened ecosystems in the Klein Karoo. It shows the “critically endangered”, “endangered” and “vulnerable” ecosystems as defined by National Spatial Biodiversity Assessment. These areas should be avoided as too much of these ecosystems have already been lost as a result of agricultural and urban developments. This data needs to be used together with the shapefiles; ‘Ostrich_farming.shp’ and ‘Ostrich_farming_severe_cultivated_transf.shp’, to determine areas where ostrich farming should be avoided.
