Develop a concept and implementation plan for an endemic botanical garden. The project includes conducting a feasibility study for a proposed nursery for endemic species, in particular for rare fynbos plants; rehabilitating Geelkop Nature Reserve and the natural corridor between the reserve and the proposed botanical garden; and mainstreaming biodiversity corridor management into the provincial road maintenance program.

Strategic Direction: 2 Promote innovative private sector and community involvement in conservation in landscapes surrounding  biodiversity corridors
