| GCBC reik uit na gemeenskappe |
| Hoe verduidelik ‘n mens die Corridor-konsep aan iemand? Hoekom is ons streek uniek? Hoekom is dit belangrik om biodiversiteit in ons streek te bewaar? Selfs, wat beteken die tongknoper “biodiversiteit”? Dit was die vrae waarmee daar onlangs vir vier dae lank geworstel is tydens ‘n byeenkoms waar die Groter Cederberg Biodiversiteit Corridor (GCBC) se Uitreikingsprogram geloods is. |

| Wat is die gevolge vir klimaatsveranderinge vir ons eie streek? |
| Hoe lyk die scenario as daar na ons eie streek gekyk word?
Nie rooskleurig nie, sę ‘n span wetenskaplikes van die universiteite van die Witwatersrand en Kaapstad. Hulle voorspel ‘n 5 grade toename in temperature, ‘n 200mm afname in reënval en ‘n 1.4m styging in die seevlak teen die jaar 2100.
‘n Variasie van slegs 25mm in die reënval kan ‘n 30% vermindering in die opbrengs per hektaar van rooibos beteken – dit is hoe ernstig hierdie situasie is.

The GCBC is essentially about people, primarily rural communities and landowners, and how they use the land. The GCBC strives to introduce people to sustainable ways of using their land and the natural resources of this unique and diverse region.
Vision: From Karoo to Coast, we in the Greater Cederberg Biodiversity Corridor share a common purpose for biodiversity conservation through sustainable utilisation of its unique living landscape.
Mission: Learning and working together all the people of the Greater Cederberg Biodiversity Corridor live sustainably with, and benefit from, their natural resources now and in the future through appropriate conservation and management of the region’s unique biodiversity.

| Conservation of amphibians and reptiles |
This project aims to partner organisations, the private sector and civil society in generating information on the amphibians and reptiles of the proposed corridor.
The project aims to ensure that the proposed GGBC will, via civil society involvement, make a significant contribution to the conservation of biodiversity in the CFK in general, and to the conservation of the herpetofauna in particular. |

| People in partnership |
| Establishing lasting partnerships is crucial to the success of the GCBC. The successful implementation of the GCBC relies on the integrity of the partnerships that are being formed with landowners, community leaders, municipalities, national and provincial government departments, non-governmental organisations and interested individuals and stakeholders. |
