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. -

The Palmiet Committee, a multi-disciplinary team including an independent environmental consultancy, was formed at the earliest planning stage. The overall approach was to implement environmental impact controls from the very outset, then rigorously follow them through the entire construction process. This proved an effective and economically viable approach. 1. Outline of the Project The Palmiet Pumped Storage Scheme is situated on the Palmiet River in the Western Province of the Republic of South Africa. The scheme comprises two dams, the lower Kogelberg Dam on the Palmiet River south of Grabouw and the upper Rockview Dam on the watershed between the Palmiet and Steenbras rivers. -

Lotta Berg Western Cape Day Trips
Lotta Berg Western Cape Day Trips 5th to 7th September 2015 (3 days) Cape Rockjumper by Cliff Dorse Day 1, 5th September: West Coast National Park & Darling Hills Loop. After meeting Lotta at 05h30 at the Southern Sun Waterfront Hotel, we were off on our first of three day trips. The weather forecast was perfect with very little wind and temperatures of around 30oC predicted. As such, we decided to do the West Coast first in order to fully optimize the good weather. We arrived at the gate of the West Coast National Park at sunrise, shortly before the gate opened. There we encountered our first birds of the trip, including Bokmakierie, Cape Weaver, Karoo Prinia, and Karoo Scrub Robin. Once in the Park we had good views of Southern Black Korhaan, Karoo Lark and White-backed Mousebird. We proceeded to the small freshwater wetland and bird hide known as Abrahamskraal. Wetland birds included Yellow-billed Duck, Cape Shoveler, Lesser Swamp Warbler and Little Grebe. A pair of confiding White-throated Swallow were building a nest in the hide and they gave exceptional views. We had a Black Crake flying across the reeds before we decided to head on to the popular area for flower displays, before it became too busy. The Flowers did not disappoint and there were fields of multi-coloured flowers in the Postberg section of the Park. When the flower area started to get very congested, we decided to retreat to quieter areas of the park. We had a good lunch at the Geelbek Restaurant before continuing our birding. -

Box 159 Riebeek West 7306 Ph/Fax: 022 461 2755 Cellular: 082 321 0172 Email: [email protected] SEPTEMBER 20121 1 Revised May, 2013 Heritage Impact Assessment proposed Khoisan Bay development, De Kelders Executive summary ACRM was appointed to conduct a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for the proposed Khoisan Bay housing development on Portion 2 (Langbosch) of the Farm Strandfontein No. 712 at De Kelders, near Gansbaai in the Western Cape. An application to develop 1850 housing units on the 110 ha property was first made in 2006. An Archaeological Impact Assessment (AIA) of the proposed development was undertaken by ACRM at the time, in which 13 archaeological sites, including scatters of marine shellfish, ostrich eggshell, stone flakes and pottery were documented. The footprint area for the proposed development has now been substantially reduced to 36.6 ha, while the number of housing opportunities has been scaled down to 472 units. An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for the proposed development was completed in 2010, with the submission of outstanding information on the final Environmental Impact Report submitted to the Western Cape Department of Environmental Affairs and Development Planning (DEADP) in March 2012. Authorization for a reduced development footprint was subsequently approved by DEADP in July 2012. -
