Guide conservation authorities, land managers, and land owners in enabling the persistence of key species and rare genotypes in situ in the face of climate change by using Aloe dichotoma as a case study. Activities include developing a spatially explicit demographic model useful for identifying key vulnerable stages in the life cycle of Aloe dichotoma and potential solutions and implementing a monitoring program to indicate climate change impacts.

Strategic Direction: 3 Retain and restore critical biodiversity in areas under greatest land-use pressure
