Die Wes-Kaap beleef ‘n volgehoue brandseisoen met 32\u2009187 ha grond wat van Oktober 2024 tot einde Februarie 2025 afgebrand het. \r<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die CapeNature- bestuurde reservate is die swaarste getref, met byna 19\u2009000 ha wat beskadig is, terwyl private grond en berg- opvanggebiede ook groot skade gely het. \r<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die brande in die Bolandse bergreeks was die mees verwoestende, met Limietberg-\r<\/p>\n\n\n\n
natuurreservaat en Hottentots- Holland-natuurreservaat wat besonder swaar getref is. Hier- die twee reservate het saam 25 brande ervaar. ‘n Brand in die Hottentots-Holland-gebied het die Nuweberg-gemeenskapsaal vernietig, en ‘n ondersoek na die oorsaak van die brand is tans aan die gang. \r<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Swartberg- beskermde gebied is die ergste geraak, met 15\u2009545 ha wat afgebrand het, insluitend 12\u2009359 ha onder CapeNature se bestuur.\r<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sedert April 2024 is 78 brande aangeteken en noodspanne het vlamme in van die provinsie se ekologies mees sensitiewe gebiede bestry. \r<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hoewel CapeNature meer brande as in die 2023-’24-brandseisoen hanteer het, is ‘n kleiner aantal hektare wat afgebrand het, bespeur. Verlede jaar het 78\u2009000 ha afgebrand. \r<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tot dusver het CapeNature meer as R12 miljoen aan die bekamping en voorkoming van brande bestee. \r<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sommige brande is aan natuurlike oorsake toegeskryf, terwyl ander veroorsaak is deur menslike aktiwiteite, insluitend ongelukke in plantasiegebiede en beheerde brande wat buite beheer geraak het. \r<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Verhoogde openbare bewus- making en die nakoming van brandveiligheidsregulasies is van kritieke belang \u2013 veral gedurende die dro\u00eb somermaande wanneer die brandgevaar op sy hoogste is. \r<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Wes-Kaapse minister van plaaslike regering, omgewingsake en ontwikkelingsbeplanning, Anton Bredell, het beklemtoon: “Inwoners en besoekers aan provinsiale reservate moet waaksaam bly en enige tekens van brand onmiddellik aanmeld. \r<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“CapeNature werk ook aan langtermynstrategie\u00eb om brandbestuur te verbeter, wat brandstofvermindering en \r<\/p>\n\n\n\n
gemeenskapsonderrig insluit.”\r<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bredell het bygevoeg dat brandbestrydingspanne van CapeNature, distrikmunisipaliteite, die Volunteer Wildfire Services, private grondeienaars en ander belanghebbendes in die voorste linies van brand-\r<\/p>\n\n\n\n
onderdrukking staan.\r<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Hierdie spanne werk onvermoeid om die vlamme te bestry \u2013 dikwels in uitdagende terrein en onder uiterste weerstoestande. Die Wes-Kaap se unieke biodiversiteit, insluitend sy fynbos-ekostelsels, is besonder vatbaar vir brandskade. Hoewel\r<\/p>\n\n\n\n
vuur ‘n natuurlike deel van hierdie ekostelsels is, hou die toenemende frekwensie en intensiteit van brande ‘n beduidende bedreiging vir die omgewing en plaaslike gemeenskappe in,” het Bredell ges\u00ea.\r<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Vir eers bly die fokus op die beperking en voorkoming van brande, aangesien die provinsie voorberei vir moontlike verdere brande in Maart en April. \r<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Ons het reeds vyf nuwe brande hierdie maand gehad, en langtermynvoorspellings dui op min re\u00ebnval en relatief ho\u00eb temperature.”<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
