A report released by the Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment (DFFE) on May 28, finds that biological invasions are the third-largest threat to South Africa’s biodiversity after cultivation and land degradation, and are responsible for 25% of all biodiversity loss. The second biological invasions report, titled ‘Status of Biological Invasions and their Management in South Africa in 2019’, estimates that, if biological invasions on grazing land are not controlled, South Africa could lose up to 70% of this valuable natural asset.
