TheCamdeboo National Park is located in theKaroo and almost completely surrounds theEastern Cape town ofGraaff-Reinet. It contains theNqweba Dam.

The park is located on the southern foothills of theSneeuberg Mountain ranges, with an elevation of between 740 and 1480-metres above sea level.

Camdeboo National Park was proclaimed as South Africa's 22nd National Park under the management ofSouth African National Parks on Sunday 30 October 2005. It covers an area of 194 square kilometres.[3]

History

[edit]

Following an extensive process of negotiation and discussion between government, conservation groups, and concerned stakeholders,Marthinus van Schalkwyk,Minister of Environmental Affairs and Tourism, announced the intention to proclaim South Africa's 22nd National Park in the area surrounding Graaff-Reinet. This was made possible by theWorld Wide Fund for Nature in South Africa (WWF-SA), which donated the 14500 hectare Karoo Nature Reserve to be the centrepiece of the project[citation needed].

The Karoo Nature Reserve was established in 1979 when theInternational Union for the Conservation of Nature and the World Wildlife Fund recognised the urgency for conservation measures in the Karoo biome and listed this action as a world conservation priority.

A public consultation process was followed to decide on the new name for the park, culminating in the choice of Camdeboo National Park. The name comes from theKhoi word!Xamdeboo, 'green valley'.[4]
