Cape mountain zebra Biodiversity Management Plan published

* The approved Biodiversity Management Plan (BMP) for the Cape mountain zebra was published in the Government Gazette last week by the Minister of Environmental Affairs, Dr Edna Molewa. The BMP provides a ‘new approach’ to the management of the zebra species, following the adoption of SA’s proposal to have the subspecies transferred from Appendix I to Appendix II at the recent 17th Conference of Parties (COP17) to CITES, held in Johannesburg.
