The ultimate result is that the fine-scale plans are so thoroughly embedded into the department's own guideline documents and processes that it is able to take full ownership of the plans for future use and revision. Through the CAPE Partnership, this work continues, with the provincial conservation agency (CapeNature) responsible for providing updated fine-scale plans for the Western Cape. Known as 'short-hook’ biodiversity mainstreaming, this approach demonstrates a close link between a targeted intervention and its direct result. Short-hook is effective for achieving on-the-ground results that have a localised spatial extent.
