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

Suitable habitat for Bush Pig (Potomochoeris porcus) in the Little Karoo including the estimated carrying capacity of the habitat (how many hectares required per animal).

Areas in the Little Karoo where potential exists for gannaveld restoration within 15 kilometres of towns

Suitable habitat for Burchell’s (Plains) Zebra (Equus burchelli) in the Little Karoo including the estimated carrying capacity of the habitat (how many hectares required per animal).

Recommended ecological carrying capacities for ostrich farming in the Klein Karoo. It is based on a simplified version of the Little Karoo vegetation map (Vlok et al. 2005), where the 56 broad habitat types have been reduced to 10 habitat types. Each of these habitat types is given a recommended stocking rate in hectares per animal (ha/animal). This data needs to be used together with the shapefiles; ‘Ostrich_farming_severe_cultivated_transf.shp’ and ‘Ostrich_farming_threat_ecosyst.shp’, to determine areas where ostrich farming should be avoided.

Suitable habitat for Burchell’s (Plains) Zebra (Equus burchelli) in the Little Karoo including the estimated carrying capacity of the habitat (how many hectares required per animal).

Suitable habitat for Wild Ostrich (Struthio camelus) in the Little Karoo including the estimated carrying capacity of the habitat (how many hectares required per animal).
