Assess whether managing renosterveld for gamebirds is beneficial to overall biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in renosterveld patches. Investigate strategies for optimizing habitats for Cape spurfowl and greywing francolin within renosterveld patches in the lowlands of the Overberg, as well as the potential for commercial harvesting of gamebirds as an incentive for landowners to alter land management practices.
