Les scores se concentrent dans le haut de l’échelle ; la position au sein du catalogue est donc souvent plus parlante que le chiffre seul.
Carbon — sequestration / storage, evidenced0/3
No carbon-stock, sequestration or emissions data for Ingula's wetlands were found in the sources reviewed; the site is evaluated on biodiversity and water outcomes, not a carbon claim.
Biodiversity — conservation / improvement, evidenced3/3
Multi-year species-level monitoring recorded over 340 bird species and quantified breeding data for three threatened/critically endangered species (e.g. one Wattled Crane pair fledging 8 chicks through 2023; Yellow-breasted Pipit pairs falling from 23 in 2014-15 to about 11 currently), evidenced via BirdLife South Africa's own reporting.
Water & soil — retention, infiltration, erosion control2/3
The partnership was established specifically to protect the high-altitude wetlands that feed Eskom's Ingula Pumped Storage Scheme, and Ramsar designation (2021) formally recognises the site's water-regulation value, though no site-specific infiltration or retention-rate measurements were found.
Fire resilience — risk reduction, evidenced1/3
Since 2003 the partnership replaced ad hoc, ecologically inappropriate burning with a managed grassland-fire regime consistent with regional patch-mosaic burning guidance, but no site-specific quantified fire-outcome data were found.
Governance, certification & transferability3/3
A formal three-way partnership (Eskom, BirdLife South Africa, Middelpunt Wetland Trust) has run continuously since 2003, achieved Ramsar designation as South Africa's 27th wetland of international importance in 2021, won a National Wetlands Award in 2019, and was recently renewed for a further five years.
