MPUMALANGA BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION PLAN HANDBOOK iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The MBCP is a truly cooperative effort. <strong>Mpumalanga</strong> had precious few people with any experience in systematic biodiversity planning at the start of this project. The support provided was such that, in the end, these local shortcomings seemed to be an advantage rather than the opposite. It resulted in many people contributing and a great willingness to listen and learn on the part of the production team. We pay special thanks to the Development Bank of Southern Africa (DBSA) for its generous financial support of this project. The authors and the MBCP Steering Committee, under the chairmanship of Charles Ngobeni, would like to thank sincerely, all those who participated and generously gave of their time. In particular, the personal drive and strong institutional support from MEC Madala Masuku, was particularly helpful. The long list of supporters includes: Koos de Wet Lientjie Cohen Gerrie Camacho Andre Coetzee Ronell Niemand Jerry Theron Francois Roux Gavin Shaw Mandy McNamara Graham Henning Piet-Louis Grundling Avian Demography Unit PRECIS - SABIF John Burrows Warren McCleland Graham Deal Lourens & Jolisa Grobler Douglas McMurtry Shane Burns Dr Stefan Siebert Judith Kruger Dr Philip Desmet James Wakelin Pete Goodman Anthony Emery Mark Botha Kristal Maze Karl Oellerman Daina Mudimbu Garth Batchelor Dr. Bob Smith Karl & Lesley Lane Michele Pfab Pieta Compaan Dr Tamara Smith Dr Neels Kleynhans Gillian Maree Nancy Job Gary Marneweck Dr Harry Biggs Aimee Ginsburg Derek Berliner
