Abstract

In late 2005 the lower stretches of the Olifants river in South Africa, flowing through the Kruger National Park before entering Mocambique, dried up for 78days, curtailing critical ecosystem services. Our retrospective case study attributes this to failure of effective cross-scale collaboration and co-constructed action. We detail how a more effective response was mounted after the governance crisis had first deepened, which, along with more recent broader but related societal responses, has maintained these water-related ecosystem services.
