Reducing climate risk for vulnerable communities along South Africa's Garden Route
27-Jan-2012
|
+more
| abstract: | The Garden Route region of South Africa, within the Cape Floristic Region, is an area of outstanding global biodiversity importance - renowned for its species richness and endemism. The area, with its tall forests unique in the country, is also extremely vulnerable to climate change, with documented increases in recent years in flooding, drought, coastal erosion and fire that are occurring as a consequence of increased climate variability and inappropriate land use and management. |
| benefits: | |
| objectives: | The project will bring together key stakeholders from the local and national levels to apply a landscape approach – working to create a mosaic of land uses that maximizes both biodiversity conservation and healthy ecosystem functioning – with the specific intent of enhancing climate risk management capabilities. This will be achieved by improving land management and rehabilitation work on private land, with new land brought under protection in corridors, as well as better management of existing protected areas. |

Improved Livelihoods and Protected Areas through Land Reform Stewardship in South Africa
15-Sep-2009
|
+more
| abstract: | This Project will focus on 19 discreet pilot sites across South Africa, spanning five of its nine biomes and six of its nine provinces. The aim of the Project is to work closely with local communities to secure high priority biodiversity land in the protected area network and simultaneously to deliver livelihood benefits. |
| benefits: | |
| objectives: | (1) Consolidate an emerging learning network and community of practice regarding land reform and biodiversity stewardship between the land sector and the biodiversity sector across the country; (2) Demonstrate the successful delivery of both livelihoods and biodiversity benefits at a pilot site level. |
| area impacted: | The Project focuses on nineteen pilot sites across South Africa, spanning five of its nine biomes and six of its nine provinces. Two of the pilot sites are located within the Maluti-Drakensberg Transfrontier Project (a project between South Africa and Lesotho) whereas several pilot sites are located within areas important for freshwater ecosystems |
