CapeNature Stewardship Sites – Sites signed up or declared, including categories, such as Contract Nature Reserves, Biodiversity Agreements, Biodiversity Agreement Servitudes, Reactive sites, Protected Environments & Voluntary Conservation Areas. The definitions for the statuses are as follows; Designated - refers to all Nature Reserves (including Contract Nature Reserves) or Protected Environments declared by the Minister or MEC, and subsequently Gazetted (Notice Number provided in Master Stewardship Register). Biodiversity Agreements and Voluntary Conservation Areas do not fall under the NEM: Protected Areas Act and therefore do not get declared. Signed - means a Protected Area Management Agreement has been signed for the Nature Reserve or Protected Environment but it has not been declared yet. Registered – applicable to conservation agreement - servitudes, which doesn’t go through the normal process for signing and designation.

The Western Cape Biodiversity Spatial Plan (WCBSP) is the product of a systematic biodiversity planning assessment that delineates, on a map (via a Geographic Information System (GIS)), Critical Biodiversity Areas (CBAs) and Ecological Support Areas (ESAs) which require safeguarding to ensure the continued existence and functioning of species and ecosystems, including the delivery of ecosystem services, across terrestrial and freshwater realms. These spatial priorities are used to inform sustainable development in the Western Cape Province. This product replaces all previous systematic biodiversity planning products and sector plans with updated layers and features. May 2025 - The CBA coverages represent an improved version after removing additional modified areas. Various CBA areas previously classified as degraded has now been reclassified as natural.

Ecological Support Areas 2: Areas in a natural, near natural or moderately degraded condition that are not essential for meeting biodiversity targets, but that play an important role in supporting the functioning of PAs or CBAs and are often vital for delivering ecosystem services. They support landscape connectivity, encompass the ecological infrastructure from which ecosystem goods and services flow, and strengthen resilience to the effects of climate change. They include features such as regional climate adaptation corridors, water source and recharge areas, riparian habitat surrounding rivers or wetlands, and threatened vegetation. This layer forms part of the 2023 Western Cape Biodiversity Spatial Plan (WCBSP).
