- ItemKey achievements and progress towards National Biodiversity Assessment 2018(2017-06-21) van Deventer, Heidi; Smith-Adao, Lindie; van Niekerk, Lara; Foden, WendyThe National Biodiversity Assessment (NBA) is central to fulfilling SANBI’s mandate to monitor and report regularly on the status of the country’s biodiversity. It is a collaborative effort to synthesise the best available science on our biodiversity to inform policy and decision-making in a range of sectors, and contribute to national development priorities. The NBA focusses specifically on high-level indicators such as threat status and protection level for species and ecosystems. However, it also endeavours to capture the challenges and opportunities embedded in South Africa’s rich natural heritage by looking at biodiversity in the context of social and economic change and the relationship between people and their environment. SANBI does not have all the capacity required to undertake the NBA in-house, and draws substantially on contributions of time and other in-kind resources from a wide range of partners over the course of the 5-7 year cycle. This is important not only for completing the work, but also for the collective ownership of the NBA by the biodiversity science community in South Africa. The NBA is a multi-author and multi-stakeholder project. This overview presentation will highlight key achievements to date on the journey to NBA 2018 (to be published in 2019). It will look at significant advancements since NBA 2011 and touch on what is unlikely to be achievable for this NBA. While many presentations at the Biodiversity Planning Forum each year relate in some way to the NBA, this presentation will attempt to highlight those that are not necessarily covered in detail in other presentations.
