National Protected Areas Expansion Strategy: Focus areas for protected area expansion

A composite vegetation layer, consisting mostly of the Garden Route Vegetation Map (Vlok,mEuston-Brown & Wolf, 2008), supplemented by the Little Karoo Vegetation Map (Vlok et al., 2005) and the Riversdale Vegetation Map (Vlok and de Villiers, 2007).

The transformation or landcover map prepared for the conservation planning for the Garden Route Initiative.

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)

Remaining Natural and degraded areas of the Overberg Planning Domain not classified as PAS, CBAs or ESAs. A detailed description is available in the document: Overberg_Critical_Biodiversity_Areas_and_Ecological_Support_Areas_Metadata.doc.

Municipalities adjacent to the Addo Elephant National Park (namely Blue Crane Route, Ndlambe, Ikwezi and Sundays River)

Layer of wetland areas (including rivers) prepared for the C.A.P.E. fine scale biodiversity plan for the Overberg District Municipality.

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
