  • 299 estuarine systems along the South African coastline were mapped. For each the floodplain (estuarine functional zone) areas were digitized using Spot 5 imagery (2008) and Google Earth. It also shows the areas of the floodplains in hectares and meters as well as the estuary names and ID’s as they occur along the coastline.

  • Identified Critical Biodiversity Areas and Ecological Support Areas in the Municipalities adjacent to the Addo Elephant National Park (namely Blue Crane Route, Ndlambe, Ikwezi and Sundays River); basis of categorization is included in this layer to help inform decision makers

  • SKEP Expert Maps (Amphibians, Birds, Fish, Insect, Invertebrates, Mammals, Plants, Reptiles)

  • 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.

  • Biome delineations based on low risk (best case) scenarios. Modeled biome based on the best case scenario: smallest predicted increases in temperature and changes in rainfall

  • Gouritz Initiative - Processes – Coastal Corridor. Sensitive coastal corridor in the Gouritz Initiative, in which there is a high threat of development in highly threatened vegetation types.

  • A flammability index map showing the potential reoccurrence of fire in untransformed examples of the 56 habitat types of the Little Karoo

  • Vegetation map indicating the extent of original (pre-transformation) vegetation types in the following municipalities: Drakenstein, Cape Agulhas Swartland, De Hoop, Overstrand, Swellendam and Theewaterskloof.

  • Priority unfragmented landscapes identified within the National Protected
