@ecr9495 too many spots across the province!
check out @citnatchallenge... Zululand, iLembe eThekwini, South Coast and Midlands are representing KZN by participating in this global event.

@SANBI_ZA @SANParks Would have been good to reflect on work highlighted by the speakers in this session...

@JeremyClarkson Season complete way too fast...

[CREW CitSci @CREWCitSciZA]

Day 2 of #GSB22 we shall explore Palmiet and Kenneth Stainbank NRs. The night walk is going to be super exciting...
@SANBI_ZA @GSBioblitz

[CREW CitSci @CREWCitSciZA]

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

Spotted a population of Gladiolus trichonemifolius (#Vulnerable) on a Kogelberg CREW outing. A Western Cape #endemic which has declined due to habitat loss. Rarely seen - what a treat!

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

[CREW CitSci @CREWCitSciZA]

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

The anticipated Great Southern Bioblitz is back again with more southern Africa cities and countries taking part this year. #GSB2022 #GSB22 #southernAfrica #SouthernAfricabiodiversity #Citizenscience #Citizenscientists

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

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

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

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 https://t.co/0pMkLzQXrB

LIVE TWEETS: @SANBI_ZA intern @sennyjeytler shares "Lessons from a year in Restoration Ecology" with @CREWCitSciZA . Janine Steytler was mentored by project manager Ismail Ebrahim.

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.
