IN SOUTH AFRICA. Southern Africa project analysed the causes, trends, and processes of change in biodiversity in Namibia and western South Africa over nearly a full decade, from 2001 until 2010. This book,, South Africa contains extraordinarily high levels of biological diversity (= biodiversity), in terms of species richness and local endemism (Siegfried 1989). Hence, South Africa has an important position and a practical role to play in the protec- tion of global biodiversity. Here we ….

The following sections will address the threats to biodiversity, as well as how these threats may affect the future of South Africa. The intention of this report is to identify whether biodiversity can play a role in the future of South Africa., decade later, South Africa did not have a s et of laws and policies envisaged by the CBD in place, designed to protect the holders of traditional knowledge from a bioprospecting agent. 16 (Belatedly significant protection is now provided by Chapter 6 of the Biodiversity Act 2003, as well as by an adde ndum to the Patent Act which.

The protection of biological diversity in South Africa. Cultivated area, in the form of cropland and planted pastures for livestock fodder, are the major driver of the projected biodiversity loss in southern Africa over the 21st century. Protected area remains constant throughout the simulation period under all scenarios, at 3.5% of the total land area of 6.7 million km 2. The Status and Distribution of Freshwater Biodiversity in Southern Africa . Southern Africa's wetlands are amongst the most diverse both physically and biologically of any in the world. Of the 1,285 species assessed at the regional scale, just over 7% are regionally threatened. is therefore expected that the overall status of southern.

Evidence of some of these failures is borne out by the examination of forest, marine Continental South Africa has a coastline of some 3,650 km and an Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of just over 1 million km2. Waters in the EEZ extend to a depth of 5,700 m, with more than 65% deeper than 2,000 m. Despite its status as a developing nation, South Africa has a relatively strong history of marine taxonomic research and maintains comprehensive and well-curated museum collections
