NOTEAt the time of writing, the Limpopo Department of Economic Development, Environment and Tourism(LEDET) is fulfilling the role of Management Authority of the provincial nature reserves of LimpopoProvince. It is, however, anticipated that this responsibility will be taken over by a different agencyduring the course of 2013. The details of this takeover were unfortunately not available during thecompilation of this Strategic Plan and, as a result, the term “Management Authority” is used to replacethe name of the existing Management Authority – LEDET - where relevant.Reserve Management Documents: Letaba Ranch Nature Reserve (Strategic Plan) 3
