South Africa, as a megadiverse country (±21 700 vascular plants, 4800 vertebrates and 68 900 invertebrates described), is presently engaged with an extended, modified Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC). The country is fortunate in having a strong tradition of systematics research and, inter alia, houses several million preserved plant specimens (±1 million databased and georeferenced), allowing taxonomists and conservationists to track both the occurrence and distribution of indigenous and naturalized plant species. These rich local resources have been extensively drawn upon to deliver, with varying degrees of success, the 16 outcome-oriented GSPC 2010 Targets. The National Environmental Management: Biodiversity Act (NEMBA, 2004), the National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP) and the National Biodiversity Framework (NBF) have provided a robust legislative, enabling and policy framework for making operational and advancing GSPC-related efforts. However, within an emerging economy, the conservation of biodiversity has competed for government resources with housing, sanitation, primary education, basic health care and crime prevention, delivery of which translates to the currency of politicians: votes. A key challenge identified by local (and global) biodiversity scientists for the current GSPC phase is broad-scale advocacy, communicating the changing state of nature, and the inter-relatedness of biodiversity and human well-being. The nature of meeting this challenge is explored.

为南非生物多样性科学和生物多样性政策之间的接口提供信息和影响

南非作为一个多样化的国家(描述了 ±21 700 种维管植物、4800 种脊椎动物和 68 900 种无脊椎动物),目前正在参与一项扩展的、修改后的全球植物保护战略 (GSPC)。幸运的是,该国拥有强大的系统学研究传统,尤其是拥有数百万个保存的植物标本(±100 万个数据库和地理参考),使分类学家和保护主义者能够跟踪本地和归化植物物种的发生和分布。这些丰富的当地资源已被广泛利用,以不同程度的成功实现 16 个以结果为导向的 GSPC 2010 目标。国家环境管理:生物多样性法案(NEMBA,2004 年),国家生物多样性战略和行动计划 (NBSAP) 和国家生物多样性框架 (NBF) 为开展和推进 GSPC 相关工作提供了强有力的立法、授权和政策框架。然而,在新兴经济体中,生物多样性保护与住房、卫生、初级教育、基本医疗保健和预防犯罪等政府资源竞争,这些资源的交付转化为政治家的货币:选票。当地(和全球)生物多样性科学家为当前 GSPC 阶段确定的一个关键挑战是广泛的宣传、交流不断变化的自然状态以及生物多样性与人类福祉的相互关联。探讨了应对这一挑战的性质。实施和推进 GSPC 相关工作的支持和政策框架。然而,在新兴经济体中,生物多样性保护与住房、卫生、初级教育、基本医疗保健和预防犯罪等政府资源竞争,这些资源的交付转化为政治家的货币:选票。当地(和全球)生物多样性科学家为当前 GSPC 阶段确定的一个关键挑战是广泛的宣传、交流不断变化的自然状态以及生物多样性与人类福祉的相互关联。探讨了应对这一挑战的性质。实施和推进 GSPC 相关工作的支持和政策框架。然而,在新兴经济体中,生物多样性保护与住房、卫生、初级教育、基本医疗保健和预防犯罪等政府资源竞争,这些资源的交付转化为政治家的货币:选票。当地(和全球)生物多样性科学家为当前 GSPC 阶段确定的一个关键挑战是广泛的宣传、交流不断变化的自然状态以及生物多样性与人类福祉的相互关联。探讨了应对这一挑战的性质。基本医疗保健和预防犯罪,其提供转化为政治家的货币:选票。当地(和全球)生物多样性科学家为当前 GSPC 阶段确定的一个关键挑战是广泛的宣传、交流不断变化的自然状态以及生物多样性与人类福祉的相互关联。探讨了应对这一挑战的性质。基本医疗保健和预防犯罪,其提供转化为政治家的货币:选票。当地(和全球)生物多样性科学家为当前 GSPC 阶段确定的一个关键挑战是广泛的宣传、交流不断变化的自然状态以及生物多样性与人类福祉的相互关联。探讨了应对这一挑战的性质。
