LIVE TWEETS: SA Biodiversity intern Janine Steytler shares "Lessons from a year in Restoration Ecology" with CREW CitSci . Janine Steytler was mentored by project manager Ismail Ebrahim. #SANBIGotTalent

#PhotosOfMyLife challenge Every day a photo. One Week. No people, no explanations. Every day one invitation to contribute. We were kindly invited by: iLEAPS Early Career Scientists Today's invitation goes to: EMSAfrica project

The flowers are gone, time for the shiny black seeds on the Crocosmia.

Our #PlantOfTheWeek is Kleinia venteri. An unusual, cryptic, stoloniferous succulent. This is a very rare species, known only from the Polokwane District of the Limpopo Province, growing on flat to hilly open terrain in savanna vegetation.

Is there a correlation between the observed and projected endemic richness in SA? Are the any sampling gaps? In our latest publication, Hoveka et al, 2020 explores the shortfalls in our knowledge of the distribution of endemic plants in the country. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

What is the ratio of observed endemic species richness to the predicted species richness across South African biomes? Hoveka et al 2020 explores the shortfalls in our knowledge of the distribution of endemic plants in South Africa in our latest publication link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Is the genetic data sampling for endemic species proportional to the projected species richness? Hoveka et al 2020 explore the shortfalls in our knowledge of the sampling of genetic data for endemic plants in our latest publication #biodiversity link.springer.com/article/10.100…

In our latest publication, Hoveka et al 2020 explore how the current South African protected areas network fails to adequately encompass threatened taxa, many of which are found in threatened ecosystems authors.elsevier.com/c/1bDRu1R~eEi3c #biodiversity #conservation

Is there a need to expand the current protected areas network? In our latest publication, Hoveka et al 2020 explore how the expansion would offer additional protection for threatened species that are currently outside the protected area network authors.elsevier.com/c/1bDRu1R~eEi3c

Our annual workshop has taken a 2-prong approach, post-pandemic. We will be hosting quarterly online workshops as well as a 2-day weekend in-person bioblitz/workshop BotSocSA SA Biodiversity

Our successful online workshop will be held quarterly.... we look forward to wngage with oyr #CitizenScience community about #plantconservation BotSocSA SA Biodiversity

Our #citizenscientists play a unique role in carrying out a range of activities to provide valuable contributions to #plantconservation instagram.com/p/CiHwoMOK8IS/…

Superb Jenny Parsons

The CREW SRR Node has a bumper weekend planned for #GSB22 Day 1 Bioblitzes...

Day 2 of #GSB22 we shall explore Palmiet and Kenneth Stainbank NRs. The night walk is going to be super exciting... SA Biodiversity GreatSouthernBioblitz
