This protected environment connects two national parks, strengthening biodiversity corridors and climate resilience. Its grassland and Karoo habitats support carbon storage and rare species but are degraded by overgrazing and invasives. Restoration emphasises rangeland rehabilitation, corridor protection, and sustainable grazing pilots. Opportunities exist in biodiversity credits, eco-tourism, and conservation-linked enterprises. Integrating farmers and communities into the protected landscape will create both ecological and economic gains.
