South Africa’s Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) play an important role in conserving unique and varied marine habitats, protecting ocean resources from overexploitation, ensuring sustainability and rewilding the coastline. In a 10-page feature by Dr Pamela Oberem, 𝙍𝙀𝙒𝙄𝙇𝘿𝙄𝙉𝙂 𝙎𝙊𝙐𝙏𝙃𝙀𝙍𝙉 𝘼𝙁𝙍𝙄𝘾𝘼 looks at the achievements of South Africa in this field and some of the challenges faced by this endeavour. The supportive role of private partners and activism by public and media is also discussed.

Richard Bugan, our Science, ME&L Manager at The Nature Conservancy in Africa, participated in a panel of conservation experts and partners during the CapeNature Conservation Review. The session, themed "From Tributary to Tap," focused on ground-breaking innovations in Invasive Alien Plant control, and included WWF South Africa, The Nature Conservancy, CapeNature, Jasper Slingsby, University of Cape Town, and Andrew Turner. The panel delved into how we are expanding and diversifying invasive species clearing methods through partnerships, especially on CapeNature land, including collaborations like The Nature Conservancy’s Greater Cape Town Water Fund (GCTWF) to tackle this challenge effectively. Richard also shared insights on the GCTWF’s Decision Support System (DSS), an interactive online dashboard tracking partner activities, enabling prioritisation, and facilitating collective planning. 💧 Invasive trees in the Greater Cape Town watershed soak up over 54 billion litres of water annually, preventing it from reaching the Theewaterskloof Dam. This dam is crucial for Cape Town’s 4 million residents, neighbouring municipalities, and agriculture. 🌲 A key GCTWF component is removing invasive trees like acacia, pine, and eucalyptus, which consume vast amounts of water. As of April 2024, over 31,000 hectares have received initial clearing, and 20,000 hectares have had follow-up treatments, recovering 17.1 billion litres of water annually—47 million litres daily. The CapeNature Conservation Review is a high-level event hosted annually by CapeNature, showcasing achievements in biodiversity conservation. CapeNature highlighted achievements realised through sound governance, its commitment, and exceptional partnerships. The CapeNature Conservation Review showcased these achievements, aligning with the theme "Journey to a Greener Tomorrow, Together." 🔗 Discover more about how we are using nature-based solutions to protect Cape Town’s water supply: https://lnkd.in/dfeJRuAh
