A Landscape Level conservation management and planning system is established by public private partnerships negotiated by a well capacitated extension service

1. Area of priority land under legally binding conservation management in productive landscapes on the Agulhas Plain doubled by the end of the project to encompass approx. 112,000 ha and continues to increase.
2. 80% of the threatened vegetation types will be conserved by the end of the project (these areas where measured as cadasters, so the real value of the natural vegetation i.e. extensive veld are less as was indicated in the Mid-Term review.)
3. Priority wetland ecosystems (Soetendals vlei, Voelvlei, Langpan, Saltpan, Rietfontein vleis, Ratel vlei and Modder vlei) recovered to restore natural hydrological regime by the end of the project
4. Conserving biodiversity to maintain critical processes:(based on the five processes below)
4.1 Edaphic interface generating ecological diversification;
4.2 Entire quaternary catchment's and drainage intact
4.3 Ecological corridors for altitudinal gradients (N-S: Haasvlakte) and herbivore migration (E – W: De Hoop – Agulhas)
4.4 Sufficient intact habitat for meso predators (Die Damme – Hagelkraal– Elim and Haasvlakte)
4.5 Inland movement of marine sands and gradients of subsequent soil development
5. Reduction of alien infestation in areas with high, moderate and low density (Alien plant species)
6. Reduce the unplanned and uncontrolled wildfires.(Wildfires)
7. The proportion of benefits arising from ABI to historically disadvantaged groups' increased by 40% by the end of the project. (Livelihoods)
8. Landscape level conservation management plan implemented by the end of the project
9. At least ten contractual and ten management agreements are signed with both SANParks and WCNCB by the end of the project
10. Protocols for farm conservation planning in place, implemented in one pilot site (Haasvlakte) by the end of year 2 and replicated at the Agulhas Plain level by the end of the project.
11. Independent monitoring confirms that, by Year 3, monitoring systems have high stakeholder participation (local communities, farmers, NGOs, land-owners, local authorities) and that collected data is feeding into management decisions
12. SANParks and WCNCB have increased capacity for integrated extension services, by end of year 2 (4 additional people hired and trained by SANParks, 3 additional staff members recruited and trained by the WCNCB)
13. At least 18 new entrants (3 groups of picking teams) properly trained and accredited with ABI sustainable harvesting qualification by the end of the project.
14. Harvesters receive 20% premium (resulting from access to a wider variety of markets and year-round orders) on sustainable harvested wild fynbos, by the end of the project and sustainable harvesting of wild fynbos demonstrated as a viable land-use form
15. Code of Practice for sustainable harvesting of wild fynbos is adopted by Flower Labeling Program by the end of year 2
16. Eco-tourism development activities are coordinated by a well capacitated multi-stakeholder Tourism Forum by year 2
17. By the end of the project the number of visitors to the key sites in Agulhas Plain exceeds 150,000 per annum compared to 50,000 at project start
18. A five-fold increase in current employment in community-based tourism activities on the Plain by the end of year 5
19. All tourism operators in protected areas are applying responsible tourism guidelines, by year 3
20. Increased positive coverage in the media by the end of year 1
21. All decision-makers and more than 40% of the general public in Agulhas Plain are aware of the value of biodiversity and 10% are actively involved in conservation- related activities by the end of the project.

Ecologically, socially and economically sustainable harvesting of wild fynbos is demonstrated as a viable land-use on Agulhas Plain

A participatory and responsible tourism strategy is implementedin the Agulhas Plain and contributes to sustainable livelihoods

Increased local support for biodiversity conservation in the Agulhas Plain is generated through a broad-based conservation awareness program.
