Area of nominated property: Richtersveld Community Conservancy: 160,000 ha, approximately Area of buffer zones: Helskloof (Nababiep) Provincial Game Reserve: 10,980 ha Richtersveld National Park: 162,445 ha Richtersveld Communal Grazing Areas: 225,000 ha, approximately The Core Area proposed as a World Heritage Site is the land enclosed within the Richtersveld Community Conservancy. The area is buffered by provincially and nationally gazetted protected areas, the Orange River (also an international border with Namibia) and the Richtersveld communal land, which is mostly grazing area. The Core Area is also buffered by significant physical features including the largely impenetrable Vandersterrberg Mountains (between the Core Area and the Richtersveld National Park), the deep canyons of the Orange River and the rugged mountains of the Nababiep (Helskloof) Provincial Nature Reserve. The high cliff walls on the Namibian side of the Orange River form a formidable barrier and buffer to the Conservancy
