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.

This region has a rich variety of rivers from fast-fl owing, low salinity, acidic Flood protection measures and construction within the river channels have modifi ed clearwater rivers in the west, to slower fl owing, more turbid and saline rivers on the Agulhas Plain that are associated with riverbanks (straightened channels and levees). This has resulted in habitat loss and change a number of inland water bodies and wetlands. to the riparian zone and reduced aquatic species diversity. Modifi cation of the Nuwejaars River bank by alien trees prior to 2005 fl oods The main land-use in the west is the cultivation of cereal crops (wheat and barley) and canola. Other land-use in this area Instream dams and water abstraction have modifi ed river fl ows and altered downstream includes livestock farming (sheep, cattle and ostriches), commercial forestry (pine plantations) and irrigated agriculture channels. The attenuation of small fl oods by instream dams has narrowed river (fruit), especially in the Palmiet and Bot river catchments. The fruit farms in the Elgin Valley are the largest exporter of channels and encouraged further invasion of alien trees, particularly in the Nuwejaars apples and pears in southern Africa.

Jonathan Kaplan Abridged CV Surname: Kaplan First names: Jonathan Michael Date of Birth: 23 September, 1961 University of Cape Town, South Africa. MA (Archaeology) 1989 Since 1991 I have been working as an independent archaeological consultant specialising in Archaeological Impact Assessment with a focus on pre-colonial Stone Age, Herder and Rock Art studies. I trade under the name Agency for Cultural Resource Management. 1 Executive summary A Phase 1 Archaeological Impact Assessment of the proposed George Western Bypass Road – N2 to Outeniqua Pass has identified no significant impacts to pre-colonial archaeological material that will need to be mitigated prior to road construction activities. Six proposed alternative alignments (two in the southern sector and four in the northern sector) have been identified and each one was searched for archaeological remains. Since at least the early 1700’s, much of the affected area has been modified and severely altered through agricultural activities (mainly pasture farming) and is therefore in an already transformed state.
  • De Hoop Camp Site: Directions

    De Hoop Camp Site: Directions

    DE HOOP CAMP SITE: DIRECTIONS RECOMMENDED ROUTES TO AND FROM THE PARK The quickest way to get to the Park from N7 (RSA) and B1 (Namibia) is to turn off at Steinkopf and approach via Port Nolloth and Alexander Bay with only the last 80km being on dirt. For those wishing to vary their route and get a broader picture of the |Ai- |Ais/Richtersveld the road from Vioolsdrift, via Kotzehoop, through spectacular scenery to Eksteenfontein and then on to Sendelingsdrift is one well worth travelling. (If you take this route please respect the interests of the Kotzehoop farmers whose crops are affected by the dust from speeding vehicles.) The scenic route via Kuboes, Lekkersing and Eksteenfontein provides an additional dimension of what the region has to offer. Another spectacular route, recommended for 4x4 vehicles only, is over the mountain pass via Helskloof Reserve between Eksteenfontein and Vioolsdrift. Admission and overnight permits must be obtained at the park office at Sendelingsdrift before entering the park. Overnight visitors must arrive before 16:00 to reach camping sites before dark. Internal roads are ‘farm tracks’, mainly suited to 4x4 vehicles, but vehicles with high clearances such as kombis and LDV’s do travel in the park. Sedan vehicles are not permitted. Due to deep-sanded riverbeds and rough mountain passes, driving in convoy is recommended. Single vehicles must sign an agreement to report back to park headquarters on departure. The old pont, that was last in service in 1988, when South West Africa (now Namibia) was still governed by South Africa, has been restored and offers an unusual and convenient way of crossing the Garib (Orange) River that separates the two countries.

    6 SOCIO-ECONOMIC BASELINE: 6.1 INTRODUCTION The proposed wind farm project is located within the Northern Cape Province, the Namakwa District Municipality (DM) and the Richtersveld Local Municipality (LM). The Namakwa District Municipality is in the western part of the Northern Cape. The province consists of six local municipalities and covers a geographical area of approximately 126, 747 km². It is bordered by the Siyanda and Pixley ka Seme Districts of the Northern Cape Province to the North-East and East, respectively, and by the Western Cape Province to the South (the West Coast, Boland and Central Karoo District Municipalities). The Atlantic Ocean forms the Western boundary, while the Gariep (Orange) River forms the Northern border with Namibia. The Richtersveld LM comprises of the following towns; Port Nolloth, Lekkersing, Kuboes, Sanddrift, Eksteenfontein, Sendelingsdrift and Alexander Bay. The project site is located on communal land that was formerly the Richtersveld “Coloured Reserve” during the Apartheid era. As part of the transformation and land restitution process, the land has since been transferred back to the ‘Richtersveld community’. For the purpose of this study, the geographic areas described in the socio- economic baseline include the Namakwa DM, Richtersveld LM, and the four rural towns that comprise the Richtersveld community (Lekkersing, Kuboes, Sanddrift and Eksteenfontein) given that they are the beneficiaries of the land on which the proposed site will be located. Figure 4.1 shows the directly affected, neighbouring municipalities and the location of the proposed project site. 6.1.1 Local Population Overview – Relevance of Performance Standard 7: Indigenous People The proposed wind farm project will be located on communal land that was given back to the Richtersveld community as part of the transformation process.
