Researchers and policymakers have called on the South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI), in its role as the statutory biodiversity organisation of South Africa, to develop a coordinated and integrated biodiversity informatics hub. While biodiversity information is increasingly available from several providers, there is no platform thr...
South Africa’s National Biodiversity Assessment (NBA) is the primary tool for monitoring and reporting on the state of biodiversity, with a focus on spatial information and key indicators. The NBA distills information that informs policies and strategies, meets national and international reporting requirements, and helps prioritize limited resource...
Biodiversity Advisor, developed by the South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI), is a system that will provide integrated biodiversity information to a wide range of users who will have access to geospatial data, plant and animal species distribution data, ecosystem-level data, literature, images and metadata. It aims to deliver a cent...
The South African National Biodiversity Institute is the custodian of numerous national level botanical and zoological datasets that have been collated over several decades and is mandated to ensure that taxonomic and ecological data are made available to the public through responsible data sharing. This study describes the nature of, and presents/...
The South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI) has initiated the development of the National Biodiversity Information System to provide access to integrated South African biodiversity information. The aim of the project is to centrally manage all biodiversity information to support researchers, conservationists, policy and decision-maker...
Background/Question/Methods
Bovine tuberculosis (BTB), an exotic invasive disease in Kruger National Park, was detected in Kruger’s lions during 1995. While BTB may impact individual animals, observational studies did not find population effects of BTB on lion abundance and demographics once the effects of prey biomass had been accounted for. Thes...
As a direct result of the general extermination of larger predators such as Lion (Panthera leo)
and Brown Hyaena (Hyaena brunnea) in some regions of South Africa, the Black-backed
Jackal (Canis mesomelas) and the Caracal or Lynx (Caracal caracal) have become bigger
threats to livestock, while smaller carnivores such as genets (Genetta spp.), mon...
A Population and Habitat Viability Assessment of the Oribi antelope (Ourebia ourebi). The PHVA process uses data on population status and trends, distribution, genetics, health status, biology, threats and the ecology of the species to input into computer-based population models (VORTEX) which test different management scenarios and forecast curren...
A Population and Habitat Viability Assessment (PHVA) of the Bearded Vulture (Gypaetus barbatus). The PHVA process uses data on population status and trends, distribution, genetics, health
status, biology, threats and the ecology of the species to input into computer-based population
models (VORTEX) which test different management scenarios and fore...
A Population and Habitat Viability Assessment (PHVA) for the Leopard (Panthera pardus) in South Africa. The PHVA process uses data on population status and trends, distribution, genetics, health
status, biology, threats and the ecology of the species to input into computer-based population
models (VORTEX) which test different management scenarios a...
A Population and Habitat Viability Assessment of the Southern Ground Hornbill (Bucorvus
leadbeateri). The PHVA process uses data on population status and trends, distribution, genetics, health
status, biology, threats and the ecology of the species to input into computer-based population
models (VORTEX) which test different management scenarios and...
Current global cheetah population estimates are nearly entirely based on often unreliable questionnaire data. During the Global Cheetah Action Plans workshops, an international Cheetah Census Technique Development workshop was proposed by a dedicated Cheetah Census Working group as a critical step towards developing a set of reliable, cost effectiv...
