Western Cape State Of Biodiversity 2012In November 2012 CapeNature delivered the 2012 State of Biodiversity report. The SoB programme was first initiated in 1999 to assess and monitor the state of biodiversity in the Western Cape. This programme delivered its first report in 2002 and these reports are updated every five years. The report provides summary statistics and lists for the province on the numbers of different species that occur, the numbers of species endemic to the province, numbers of species in each of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) threat categories, threats to biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, and the extent of Protected Areas and the degree of protection conferred. « Go Back |
