Management plan for Kango Caves complete
May 11, 2006, 06:15
A five year inclusive management plan for the Kango Caves near Oudtshoorn in the Western Cape is nearly complete. This is the first time that a long term management plan will be put in place.
Up to now, the caves have been managed on an ad hoc basis, which was found to be ineffective. The new plan aims to preserve the caves more effectively while maintaining it as a tourism draw card.
One of the first objectives is to install an ecological monitoring system to measure the impact of the 250 000 visitors to the caves every year. More than R2.5 million will be invested in the site in the next financial year.
