Informal conservation areas in South Africa

Polygons of formal protected areas in South Africa

Biome delineations under a high risk (worst case) scenario. Modeled biome based on the worst case scenario: temperatures at the highest end of those predicted by the 15 downscaled GCMs (90th percentile for temperature values) and rainfall values at the lowest end of the range predicted (10th percentile of rainfall values).

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)

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

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).
