Plant database - each of the three SANBI herbaria
have plans for their individual targets and this target for
plants will be achieved over the next three quarters.
Animals database - SANBI is dependent on external
partners for the data, and this comes in through various
projects.
We are addressing a challenge where our partner is not
providing cleaned data for the Mammal Red List
Project. SANBI is currently receiving data for the Shale
Gas Exploration SEA and some of it will be new data.
In addition to this data is being generated through the
Foundational Biodiversity Information Programme.
Through these projects we will be able to meet the

Key challenges and opportunities
going forward
• Groen Sebenza – an important intervention to transform the
sector, however huge challenges in getting job placements from
Host Institutions. Measures have been taken to meet project
targets.
• Provision of evidence based information for the SIPs is being
addressed through our information management and research
capabilities. Where required new skills are being mobilised.
• Implementation of new Invasive Species Regulations has
financial and human resource implications. Funding support
from DEA requested.
• Establishment of 2 new Gardens requires careful planning and
allocation of human and financial resources. This is being
addressed through our planning, recruitment and budgeting.
