Ecosystem status for Swartland

Ecosystem status indicates whether a particular vegetation type is ‘critically endangered’, ‘endangered’, ‘vulnerable’ or ‘least threatened’. These categories are based on conservation targets (calculated for the National Spatial Biodiversity Assessment, SANBI 2004) and on the extent of natural vegetation remaining (% of original area) for that particular vegetation type. This data layer shows ecosystem status for the remaining natural habitat in the Cape Agulhas Municipality (and 2km beyond its boundary).
