The Gauteng Conservation Plan Version 3 has been produced through an analysis of biodiversity data collected for the Gauteng province as part of the Gauteng Biodiversity Gap Analysis project. The conservation plan contains two different categories of areas:
1) Critical Biodiversity Areas (CBAs). These areas are further classified into irreplaceable-, important and protected areas.
2) Ecological Support Areas (ESAs).
CBAs and ESAs will be incorporated into the National Bioregional Plan for South Africa.
The purpose of the Conservation Plan is to identify and map areas that are of importance to biodiversity protection in Gauteng through a systematic and empirical conservation-planning programme, and to provide recommendations and policy strategies for the conservation and management of these areas.
Data have been prepared with the ESRI family of GIS products and other tools. Final analyses were done within the ArcView-linked C-Plan Decision Support System, developed by the New South Wales National Parks and Wildlife Services in Australia. Data analysis followed the systematic conservation planning protocol developed by Margules & Pressey (Margules, C.R. & Pressey, R.L. 2000. Systematic conservation planning. Nature, 405, 243-253.) and is based on the principles of complementarity, efficiency, defensibility and flexibility, irreplaceability, retention, persistence and accountability.
The first three areas classified as Critical Biodiversity Areas (CBAs) can be summarised as follows:
(1) Irreplaceable Areas are essential in meeting targets set for the conservation of biodiversity in Gauteng.
(2) Important Areas are for the conservation of biodiversity in Gauteng.
(3) Reserved Areas include all existing level 1 and 2 protected areas. Level 1 protected areas are proclaimed in terms of relevant legislation specifically for the protection of biodiversity (or for the purposes of nature conservation) AND are subject to an ecological management plan with conservation of biodiversity as the primary management objective. ¹Margules, C.R. & Pressey, R.L. (2000) Systematic conservation planning. Nature, 405, 243-253.
Level 2 protected areas are proclaimed in terms of relevant legislation specifically for the protection of biodiversity (or for the purposes of nature conservation) OR are subject to an ecological management plan with conservation of biodiversity as the primary management objective.
Version 3 also includes ESAs (previously in a separate layer) that maps spatial surrogates for supporting ecological processes that are essential for the maintenance and generation of biodiversity in sensitive areas.
