A great many people and organisations helped to produce this atlas. Particular thanks go to Klemens Riha and the staff at GIZ, whose confidence in the project ensured its continued funding. Angus Middleton and staff of the NNF are also especially thanked for their sustained support; Mirja Stoldt helped track down many sources of information, while Ulrica Abrahams, Jolene Both, Christa Katjiruru, Edla Kaveru and Bia Kotze supported the financial administration of the project.

The rich collection of photographs in the atlas was largely sourced and documented by Gina Figueira and Helen Harris. Hanspeter Baumeler, Peter Oliver Lambrecht, Frank Weitzer, the Gondwana Collection and the families of the late Paul van Schalkwyk and late Tony Figueira generously provided the free use of their collections of photographs. Jana Annandale produced several illustrations for the atlas.
