Large-mammal herbivore populations are subject to the interaction of internal density-dependent processes and external environmental stochasticity. We disentangle these by linking consumer population dynamics, in a highly stochastic environment, availability their key forage resource via effects on body condition subsequent fecundity mortality rates. Body demographic rate data were obtained monitoring 500 tagged female goats Richtersveld National Park, South Africa, over three-year period....
Aloe pillansii is a large succulent tree confined to the hyper arid region of Richtersveld and southern Namibia. Because its narrow distribution, small population size decline in adult plant numbers it considered an endangered species, susceptible impacts climate change. Using two databases compiled for 1 202 known South African individuals species we identified 10 sub-populations, defined as clusters within 2 km their nearest con-specific neighbour. Seven sub-populations were located...
Monitoring is an essential component of measuring the performance protected areas. This requirement led to development a biodiversity monitoring system for South African National Parks (SANParks). The comprises ten major programmes, each focusing on core area conservation monitoring, with resource use being one focal With growing appreciation importance natural resources socio-economic well-being communities and other stakeholders, sustainable important management areas national parks.

Abstract Local farmer knowledge of species distribution patterns and plant palatability in Namaqualand, South Africa, was assessed using Participatory Rural Appraisal techniques. These findings were compared with the results obtained phytosociological techniques (species distribution), indices published literature. It found that farmers knowledgeable close to settlement, but less so further away from settlement. Farmer rankings did not correlate well literature, which suggests semi‐arid...
