These include the declaration of “Bioregions” and the publication of “Bioregional Plans”. Bioregional plans are usually an output of a systematic spatial conservation assessment of a region. They identify areas of conservation priority, and constraints and opportunities for implementation of the plan. The precursor to a Bioregional Plan is a Biodiversity Sector Plan (BSP), which is the official reference for biodiversity priorities to be taken into account in land-use planning and decision-making by all sectors within the District Municipality. The overall aim is to avoid the loss of natural habitat in Critical Biodiversity Areas (CBAs) and prevent the degradation of Ecological Support Areas (ESAs), while encouraging sustainable development in Other Natural Areas.

  • Ultimate South Africa
    Gorgeous Bushshrike – Mkuze Game Reserve | © Martin Benadie (Note: All images used to illustrate this tour report were taken on the actual 2017 tour). ULTIMATE SOUTH AFRICA 10 NOVEMBER – 4 DECEMBER 2017 LEADER: MARTIN BENADIE The 2017 Birdquest Ultimate South Africa tour certainly lived up to its name – yet again! An outstanding birding destination and this tour delivered, with an amazingly high proportion of the targets (the hoped for endemics, regional endemics and specialities) being not only found, but also seen remarkably well. 510 bird species were seen well by all group members (out of 523 species recorded on tour). The mammals also put in a good showing with over 50 species observed. Top birds included the fantastic Pink-throated Twinspot, confiding Victorin’s and Barratt’s Warblers, magical Blue Swallows, the stunning Drakensberg Rockjumper, which along with its close relative the Cape Rockjumper, and the two sugarbirds (Cape and Gurney’s Sugarbirds), are all truly iconic species. Other memorable specials included the graceful Black Harrier, Green Barbet, the trio of wonderful cranes, Bokmakierie, Cinnamon-breasted Warbler, Karoo Eremomela and nine superb species of bustard. Colour was added by showy Cape Parrots, vivid Gorgeous Bushshrikes, Ground Woodpecker and three species of splendid turacos, elegance by the Buff-streaked Chats, comedy by African Penguins and rarity by Rudd’s Lark and Taita Falcon, not to mention the rapidly disappearing vultures! Four per cent of our species were members of the Alaudidae family as we saw 22 species of lark in what has to be the lark capital of the world. The great thing was that we saw them all well enough for all to appreciate their subtle differences.
