Camdeboo National Park Camdeboo National Park PARK MANAGEMENT PLAN October 2006 AUTHORISATION This management plan is hereby internally accepted and authorised as the legal requirement for managing Camdeboo National Park as stated in the Protected Areas Act. ______________________________ Date: _____ _____ Paul Daphne Executive Director Parks, SANParks ______________________________ Date: _______ _ __ Sydney Soundy Chief Operating Officer SANParks ______________________________ Date: _____ _____ Dr David Mabunda Chief Executive, SANParks Recommended to SANParks Board _____________________________ Date: _____ _____ Ms Cheryl Carolus Chairperson, SANParks Board Recommended to Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism _____________________________ Date: _____ _____ Mr Marthinus van Schalkwyk Minister: Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism (DEAT) CNP Park Management Plan Version 1 (31 October 2006) Executive Summary SANParks has developed a Biodiversity Custodianship Framework to plan, integrate, implement and review the biodiversity conservation, tourism and constituency building components that make up its core business, whilst ensuring continual learning and compliance with DEAT norms and standards. The Camdeboo National Park (Camdeboo NP) was proclaimed on the 29th of October 2005, having formerly existed as the Karoo Nature Reserve since 1976. Apart from its scenic beauty, the geographical context of Camdeboo NP, practically surrounding the town of Graaff-Reinet, is perhaps its most outstanding feature. This relationship between a protected area with already popular tourist attractions, and a growing population on its borders, places Camdeboo NP in a unique position in the network of protected areas in the Eastern Cape. Camdeboo NP thus has the potential to significantly contribute to the socio-economic upliftment of a large local community. Camdeboo NP has a semi-arid climate, and forms part of the Great Escarpment. Camdeboo NP’s diverse landscape in relation to altitude, aspect and soil type has led to the development of three distinct physiognomic classes of vegetation, i.e. Shrubland, Succulent Thicket and Dwarf Shrubland. It contains 43 species of mammal including a population of Cape Mountain Zebra, a herd of valuable disease free buffalo and an abundant population of about 1200 kudu. Camdeboo NP also contains rock formations of approximately 230 million years old that are rich in the fossils of the two main groups of early Karoo reptiles. Camdeboo NP’s desired state is a park that has been consolidated through park expansion and reducing inappropriate land use, to allow for natural processes and patterns representative of the full biodiversity spectrum associated with the Karoo area. Camdeboo NP’s socio-political desired state is a park that provides development and tourism opportunities to local communities and other stakeholders, but nevertheless informed and constrained by its biodiversity values. Programmes to achieve Camdeboo NP’s desired state fall within four categories, i.e. Biodiversity and heritage conservation, Constituency building, Sustainable tourism and Effective park management: i) Biodiversity and heritage conservation Park expansion seeks to unify the current Camdeboo and Mountain Zebra National Parks into a mega reserve of 330 000 ha. Expansion in the 2006-10 management cycle will be primarily focused on the logical alignment of the boundary into a more manageable ecological unit. In this regard it is planned to acquire a total of 6600 ha for an estimated total of R8.2 m. Further expansion would be via identified acquisition and contractual inclusion of private land into a mosaic of public-private land. Camdeboo NP does not have a lower level plan for resource use at this time, but will be developed to ensure the sustainable use of wild biotic and abiotic resources to improve the quality of life of people who live in the Graaff- Reinet district, according to their needs, but subject to the resource use policy and biodiversity values of SANParks and the desired state for Camdeboo NP. In order to fully comply with all management requirements for cultural heritage resources in the park a number of initiatives have been planned and will be implemented within the next five years. The main feature of the herbivory programme is the departure from the use of stocking rates to determine the size of herbivore populations in Camdeboo NP. Rather,Thresholds of Potential Concern that explicitly measure the biodiversity changes brought about by herbivores will be used to make decisions about the removal of herbivores for ecological reasons. In addition to the rehabilitation of areas that have been degraded by years of mismanagement during the commonage era, a rehabilitation programme incorporates removal of alien biota. Reintroduction of game aims to restore Camdeboo NP’s historical wildlife diversity, although it is currently too limited in size and inadequately fenced with respect to the containment of any larger predators. Currently rare species in Camdeboo NP are not afforded any special conservation measures. Candidate species will have to be put through the SANParks prioritisation framework for species of special concern, and those that Ref.16/1/5/1/5/5/1 CNP Park Management Plan Version 1 (31 October 2006) emerge as category 1 or 2 species must have their own TPCs set and monitoring programmes. Although Camdeboo NP's neighbours currently do not have a significant problem with damage causing animals, these will be addressed by the management committee on an ad hoc basis. Camdeboo NP does not currently have a Fire Programme, as fire is not a significant driver in Karoo ecosystems. In those parts of the landscape that contain sufficient fuel to burn, Camdeboo NP will allow lightning fires to take their course, in recognition of the role of fire as an ecosystem driver, and within the constraints posed by risks to human life and infrastructure. ii) Sustainable tourism Camdeboo NP has a park zoning plan that divides the park into areas of different use, to guide and co-ordinate conservation, tourism and visitor experience initiatives. Although no accommodation or restaurant are currently available in Camdeboo NP, a high level objective is to ensure that any future tourism developments, particularly accommodation, will remain sensitive to competition with the surrounding community. Various tourism products are planned for Camdeboo NP. ii) Building co-operation A Stakeholder relationship management programme aims to contribute meaningfully to the quality of life of the local community by linking the management of Camdeboo NP with the social and economic activities of the Graaff-Reinet community in ways that both develop and maintain healthy mutual trust and interdependence. The aim of the park's environmental education programme is to stimulate sensitivity towards the natural environment by promoting an understanding of the interdependence of all living organisms and their relationship to their environment. A socio-economic development programme aims is to contribute to the economic, social and physical well being of the community living around the park. The programme aims to create a local and regional profile for Camdeboo NP, appreciating that it has an important role to play in the local economy by creating employment opportunities and developing sound economic relationships with those living on its borders. iii) Effective park management Interim environmental management standards that will be adhered to include those for waste management, pollution control, visitor impacts, building sites and aspects including offroad driving by visitors. An infrastructure development programme has a phased approach to the development of visitor infrastructure, and aims to provide a balanced range of facilities and opportunities for both local community and foreign tourists, that are compatible with the Park sensitivity analysis and zonation. The compilation of Camdeboo NP’s safety and security, and financial sustainability plans are is still in progress. Corporate support for Camdeboo NP includes an increase in staff capacity (e.g. a dedicated research technician) to carry out the monitoring that is essential for the successful implementation of the biophysical programmes to achieve the desired state. The AIDS/HIV programme for Camdeboo NP forms part of a broader SANParks initiative. Camdeboo NP will make use of the comprehensive Risk Management Framework provided on a corporate level by SANParks, incorporating corporate risk management policy, procedures and methodology. Finally, the communications programme for Camdeboo NP follows the Corporate Communications policy. The essential feature of the adaptive management system employed by SANParks for its biodiversity custiodanship is the iterative way in which it will enable continual improvement in the management of each park through annual and five-year review cycles. The SANParks review process employs the Balanced Scorecard system manage the performance of its management actions. The Balanced Scorecard integrates SANParks’ and park-specific objectives across all levels of its staff through explicit linkages with individual performance areas.

  • 1 Annual Portfolio Overview Maputaland-Pondoland-Albany
    Annual Portfolio Overview Maputaland‐Pondoland‐Albany Biodiversity Hotspot October 2012 I. Introduction Stretching along roughly 800 miles of the Indian Ocean coast and 200 miles inland to the Great Escarpment, from Port Elizabeth in South Africa’s Eastern Cape Province, north through KwaZulu‐Natal, further covering much of Swaziland and southern Mozambique, the Maputaland‐Pondoland‐Albany Hotspot is characterized by an endemic vegetation type called subtropical thicket. Subtropical thicket – a condensed forest of thorny trees, shrubs, and vines – is an ecosystem driven by elephants, black rhino, and Cape buffalo that trample down paths and disperse seeds through their digestive tracks. The region is named for its three main centers of endemism: Maputaland in the north, typified by lush riverine and estuary habitats, diverse savannah, foothill grasslands, and dune forests; Pondoland in the middle, typified by a matrix of forests, grasslands, and rushing river valleys; and Albany in the south, typified by thickets and ecotones that shade into the fynbos of the Cape Floristic and the plants of the Succulent and Nama Karoo habitats. There are 1,900 endemic plant species in the hotspot, of which 534 are either Vulnerable, Endangered, or Critically Endangered per the IUCN Red List. While vertebrate diversity and endemism are lower than that of plants, they are still remarkable. Furthermore, the sub‐ equatorial waters are centers of diversity for sharks, rays, skates, and coastal fish. In addition to the endemic species, the region is also home to the many charismatic species – lions, elephants, hippos – that characterize the classic African safari tourism experience. The political and cultural landscapes are as varied as the biological diversity.

  • Safari Südafrika
    Karge Wüsten, weite Savannen, schroffe Gebirge und üppige Tropenwälder – die facetten reichen Landschaftsräume Südafrikas sind überwältigend schön. Und die legendären »Big Five« bei einem Game Drive durch eines der unzähligen Wildreservate aus nur wenigen Metern Entfernung zu beobachten, ist eine unbe schreibliche Erfahrung. In prächtigen Fotografien entführt das Buch in Südafrikas Schutzgebiete mit ihrer Fülle an Tieren und Pflanzen und macht Lust darauf, dieses spannende Land auf einer Safari zu entdecken. € (D) 39,95 / € (A) 41,10 ISBN 978-3-95504-521-0 2 Südafrikanische Seebären lassen sich von den Wellen des Atlantiks treiben. Im Namaqualand- Natio nalpark trifft man häufig Kolonien dieser Robbenart an. 3 4 Wenn die Sonne im Golden Gate Highlands National Park langsam untergeht, lassen ihre letzten Strahlen den Mushroom Rock in kräftigem Orange erglühen. 5 6 Dieses Impala hat in der Savanne des Pilanesberg-Nationalparks Futter gefunden. Die Tiere ernäh- ren sich hauptsächlich von ein- und zweikeimblättrigen Pflanzen und Gräsern. 7 ZU DIESEM BUCH »Ich glaube fest daran, dass Südafrika der schönste Ort auf Erden ist. Natürlich bin ich voreingenommen. Aber wenn man die Na- turschönheiten von Südafrika mit der Gast- freundschaft und Kulturvielfalt unserer Ein- 8 wohner verbindet und zudem in Betracht Nelson Mandela für die »Regenbogennati- außergewöhnlichen Tier- und Pflanzenwelt, zieht, dass das Land ein Paradies für unsere on« ist nicht übertrieben.
