PBSAP & PBESTOWARDS BIODIVERSITY RESILIENCE
Strategic Objectives of the PBSAP:
SO 1: Conservation and effective management of biodiversity
SO 2: Partner sectors mainstreaming biodiversity into policies & plans
SO 3: A biodiversity-based economy contributes to livelihoods and development
(PBES)
SO 4: Knowledge management
SO 5: Stakeholders are mobilised
SO 6: Capable institutions achieve biodiversity management objectives
SO 7: Resource mobilisation enables biodiversity mandate
The Provincial Biodiversity Strategy and Action PlanGives effect to the:
Provincial Biodiversity Economy Strategy (PBES)

PBSAP & PBES IMPLEMENTATION 2018/19
The BSP must be used to inform how we invest in ecological infrastructure to ensure that our natural resources are managed to improve resilience and water security into the future as part of our response to climate change, including adaptation and disaster risk reduction.
The BSP Handbook provides the strategic and practical guidance on how to ensure that planning and decision-making build resilience of our ecological infrastructure.
PBSAP:• Biodiversity Bill
This bill amalgamates the Western Cape Nature Conservation Board Act, 1998 (Act 15 of 1998) and the Nature Conservation Ordinance, 1974 (Ordinance 19 of 1974) (”the Ordinance”) and includes the Biosphere Reserves Act whilst describing the biodiversity management mandate of CapeNature and the DEA&DP.
Vetting was finalized by Mid-Nov 2018 and submitted to Cabinet for approval of the Public Participation Process
• Biodiversity Information Management System (BIMS)To develop a provincial BIMS. Scoping to establish user needs and platform requirement. Submission on route to be advertised by mid Nov 2018
PBSAP & PBES IMPLEMENTATION 2018/19
PBSAP:• Biosphere Reserves (BRs)
The Department gives effect to the Biosphere Reserves Act and have oversight over the 5 (soon 6?) BRs in the province and provides operational funding.
BRs are globally recognised areas of terrestrial and coastal ecosystemsthat contribute towards the conservation of biodiversity, sustainablemanagement and use of the environment by man.
Biosphere reserves have evolved as mechanisms that promotesymbiotic relationships between man and the environment.

PBSAP & PBES IMPLEMENTATION 2018/19
PBES :
• Ecological Infrastructure Investment Framework (EIIF)
– Why? – Need to coordinate investment more effectively
– What? – Risk-based investment prioritisation and monitoring
– Who? – All of us together
– How? - Agree on risk framework and management
– Prioritisation - Provincial-level and priority MUCPs
– Good baselines, monitoring and review
– Prioritise sectoral investment
– When? – Now and always
PBSAP & PBES IMPLEMENTATION 2018/19
PBES :
• Ecological Infrastructure Investment Framework (EIIF)
– Phase one: Risk analysis - Water (including groundwater), fire, flooding and erosion/geotechnical failure
– Phase two: Prioritisation analysis - current and future risk– Phase three: Development of MUCPs for priority catchments -
Develop costing for priorities over 20 years (at least)– Phase four: Investment strategies
– Government-led, Forestry exit areas (non CapeNature, non SANParks), Local government, Private sector and landowner-led interventions, Value chain development for alien biomass (carbon sequestration?), Funding priorities from the water economy (Resource Management Charge, water pricing strategies (PES).
– Phase five: Integrated investment framework– Phase six: Spatial and strategic monitoring & evaluation
Current: Catchment prioritization phase (3 workshops)
PBES :
• Keurbooms/Karatera Payments for ecosystem services (PES)Finalizing the Business Case – Cost of management of the catchment and relative ecological benefit derived will exceed R172 million per annum.
