4 NEMBA: Legal Planning Frameworks to Conserve Biodiversity Bioregional Plan + EMF s + IDP s Conservation Plans = Spatial Representation CBA s Pattern (distribution of biota) and process features ID priority areas ID corridors to link priority areas Possible conflicts: conservation and development Asses protected area network/expansion against CBA s Provide planning and landuse guidelines
5 Based on time, resource and known data constraints PRELIMINARY CONSERVATION PLAN Data assessment and gap analysis Landcover!!!! Provide baseline for future conservation planning using available data and information Conservatively identify priority areas FOCUS ON BROAD LAND CLASSES, some species info Decision support tool for high level Environmental Planning, IEM, EIA s and Protected Area Expansion Provide land use guidelines P LCP: HIGHER LEVEL, MORE CONSERVATIVE, BUT DATA INTEGRITY AND QUALITY OUTPUTS

19 High water yield areas that produce ecosystem services, including water, under severe threat from plantations and poor landuse management, have to increase protection through various means. These areas also have the last remaining threatened mountain grassland. Landcover data older than 10 years improved with other data layers. Small landuse changes may have significant impacts.

21 Product as good as the data available, the capacity to analyse and implement we need to build capacity - to survey, set targets, upgrade SCP, implement. Current product: used for soliciting political support for key issues + high level planning and decision support (better than having nothing direct further work) Private Nature Reserves important but not assessed i.t.o. conservation contribution audit required to verify status and contribution High % of important biodiversity features have no or inadequate protection prioritise expand Conservation Estate Some PAs contain features found nowhere else in the world allocate resources 6 Clusters - 3 important for ecosystem services and biodiversity conservation Fragmentation in mountain grasslands and forests, and competing landuses (including forestry) in high water yield to be assessed as a priority Corridors present a good opportunity for long-term biological movement between important biodiversity areas but it needs refinement Cost of ecosystem services to be determined resource economists needed Consider potential conflicts between development needs (e.g. mining and environmental conservation) and develop SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK (Green the LEGDP) to ensure provision of ecosystem services

24 Development pressure is high losing opportunities to conserve Dynamic systems with major pressures require adaptive management and innovative approaches that are not always based on the best scientific outputs Some good data available, work with it while attempting to improve data layers and address gaps Conservative approach to SCP provide for challenges and constraints but do provide basis for getting important messages across (political) and basic decision support. Also basis to guide future planning Preliminary conservative SCP can assist if you have major capacity challenges Conservation Planning = CYCLICAL PROCESS P LCP to be refined Continuous improvement Next phase to refine, engage, develop capacity LEDET & other role players
