The present geological period has more species than any other, yet the current rate of extinction of species is greater now than at any time in the past. Ecosystems and communities are being degraded and destroyed, and species are being driven to extinction. The species that persist are losing genetic variation as the number of individuals in populations shrinks, unique populations and subspecies are destroyed, and remaining populations become increasingly isolated from one another. The cause of this loss of biological diversity at all levels is the range of human activity that alters and destroys natural habitats to suit human needs.” (Primack, 2002). CapeNature launched its State of Biodiversity Programme (SoBP) to assess and monitor the state of biodiversity in the Western Cape in 1999. This programme delivered its first report in 2002 and these reports are updated every five years. The current report (2007) reports on the changes to the state of vertebrate biodiversity and land under conservation usage.

  • Project Proposal for Transforming Grabouw, Western Cape, Into A
    Project Proposal for Transforming Grabouw, Western Cape, into a Sustainable Community By Gareth Haysom Thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy, in the School of Public Management and Planning at the University of Stellenbosch Supervisor: Professor Mark Swilling December 2007 I, the undersigned, hereby declare that the work contained in this thesis is my own original work and that I have not previously in its entirety or part submitted it at any university for a degree. Signature: ………………………………… Date: ………………………………. 2 Copyright © 2007 Stellenbosch University Abstract Cities and in particular, secondary cities are fast emerging as the dominant form of human settlement. Considering the anticipated growth in the population and the expected global economic growth, what role will cities play in addressing the core issues pertaining to sustainable development? Will cities be able to address these issues at all? Addressing the sustainability of cities is about focussing on addressing the key issues of form and function. These, coupled with the specific social interactions, the cultural and political actions, are the drivers that need to be harnessed, integrated and reworked if cities are to be sustainable in any way. Without a collective and concerted drive to make direct inputs into the three main drivers of a city; planning and design, the resource use and inputs and the social interactions within cities, no efforts to address the hope of leaving legacies of resources for future generations will be realised. If these efforts do not originate in, and grow out of cities, cities will not support, but rather undermine, any attempts at achieving sustainable development.

    DISTRICT SAFETY PLAN Overberg Civic Centre NR Arendse 15 October 2019 George Introduction – DSPs and the Western Cape Road Safety Situation Average around 1,400 people killed on Western Cape roads each year: • Average 3 to 4 people killed per day. • Estimated 17 people seriously injured per day. Estimated 57 people injured per day (CSIR estimates). • Based on CSIR cost of crashes study, approximate economic burden in WC is R26,937,398 per day. Over R9b per annum • Most of the cost is in loss of earnings – so hits local economies the hardest Caledon “District Safety Plan” (DSP) pilot launched October 2016. Twelve months after implementation: 29.7% reduction in fatalities in the region. © Western Cape Government 2012 | Background Recognizing that the existing crash levels on our roads represent a major impediment to the socio-economic development of the Western Cape, the Transport Branch of the Department of Transport & Public Works has adopted a vision of zero fatalities and serious injuries on Western Cape roads.
