Waterberg Biosphere Reserve Strategic Environmental Management Plan (WBR SEMP)


Kartoza and Dr Richard Pettifor were subcontracted by the Waterberg Biosphere Reserve in a bid for a USAID Resilient Waters Project.

Description

WBR subcontracted Kartoza and Dr Pettifor in a bid for a USAID Resilient Waters project. WBR needed a SEMP for their own planning purposes as a UN requirement and also planned to submit a biosphere renewal application with updated boundaries and zones in early 2021 for the third ten year period of the biosphere reserve. Kartoza conducted all the spatial analysis required to maximise the conservation of areas with high ecosystem adaptation potential and plan proposed new biosphere zone boundaries around these areas. We also coordinated a WASH survey of 2000 people in 60 settlements throughout the study areas, including setting up and managing the survey technology and data flow.
