Ref: #52

  • I would cut the rainfall & put SA’s major towns/cities in & maybe provincial boundaries and keep the WDC boundaries

Removed the annual rainfall map, and updated with the provinces

Seabilwe - this looks so much better - thank you, especially for the international reader being able to locate the WBR within the context of SA. I also prefer the fine provincial lines, exceCan the boundaries of the pting the thiness now causes a problem separating out Waterberg DC (= AOI) & Limpopo Provincial boundary. Perhaps easiest is to make all the provincial boundaries a bit thicker (if they are currently 0.5, then maybe as 1.0) & make the WDC boundary finer in the national picture of SA (but not in the offset - that is fine). Also, you may be right, but I thought the AOI was the WDC, & if there were farmm boundaries going into Lephalale or elsewhere outside of WDC boundary, then these were simply visually assessed. In other words, the "boundary" running almost due North thro Lephahale at the "apex" of the AOI is probably misleading, & we should simply restrict AOI to WDC - perhaps discuss with Gavin??

The AOI is not the WDM. As per description in the project report, we used the WDM plus several other layers including the existing WBR, important bird areas and particularly river catchments in determining the AOI. The original AOI included parts of NW Province and some other small extensions, however those were removed in the current version, keeping just Aganang LM (roughly). Blouberg is part of the AOI because it is Mogalakwena catchment and it happens to contain some WBR core area

Agree re AOI, but still not clear why AOI line runs thro Blouberg (the heavy line running North-South. To my mind it complicates things ...

@seabilwe maybe try to accentuate the AOI boundary and diminish the two LM boundaries

Seabilwe - this comment is going to be copied into a number of maps - I will change my name to Mr Pedantic.
I am happy for the zones of the WBR to be shaded as you have in the Inset map (so leave that alone), but mapybe remove all colour shading in the main map, & simply have two sets of boundaries using 0.75 & 1.5 pt solid black lines - illustrating current WBR external boundary (& 1.5pt) showing the proposed boundary. The point of this figure is to show the location of the WBR in the wider context of SA - hence no need for the internal zonation on main map. Also, no need for the Distric Council boundary here - please remove from Iset map & legend. Also, please remove the Green Print identifying NPs etc in Namibia, Bots & Moz - the point size is too small to be legible in the report, and they are superflous for our purposes here. Finally, could you change the internal figure legend (Proposed WBR Location) to "Location and Boundaries of the Current & Proposed WBR". Thanks

Regarding the names of the NPs on the map, those are from the online basemap used for this map. So I cannot remove them, unless I use another basemap.

Reading the other fixes, I will work on them.
