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.

  • MERWEVILLE ADVICE OFFICE and Development Centre Access to Justice
    MERWEVILLE ADVICE OFFICE AND DEVELOPMENT CENTRE ACCESS TO JUSTICE Merweville is a small Karoo town which lies between the Swart and Nuweveld mountains 45km north-west of Prince Albert Road and 130km south-east of Beaufort West.1 The town’s desolation and aridity has a close resemblance to the Arizona and Nevada desert in the US, and is a popular location for filmmakers. It was one of the few towns or villages in the Western Cape province not to be serviced by a sealed highway until the 40 km stretch of gravel road from the N1 was tarred in 2015.2 Prior to this Merweville (the villagers call it Mirville) could only be reached by driving long distances along dirt roads between Fraserburg, Sutherland and Prince Albert station. The town was established on the farm Vanderbylskraal in 1904 and administered by a village management board from 1921. It was named after the Reverend P van der Merwe (1860-1940), the minister of the Dutch Reformed Church in Beaufort West and chairman of the church council which established the town.3 The total population of the town according to the 2011 census was 1,592 with 9.3% identifying as Black African, 78.8% as Coloured and 8.8% as White. The majority speak Afrikaans (95%).4 Merweville Advice Office is a developing local Advice Office based in the small rural town. The LDA assists farm workers with unfair dismissals and UIF. They also organise youth in the community to deal with issues of unemployment and skills development. 1. Merweville, Western Cape - Karoo Space.
