SIGNIFICANCE : A recent report from the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services
(IPBES) assessed how the sustainable use of wild species benefits people and nature, and which policies
work best to prevent unsustainable exploitation. In the context of an accelerating and alarming biodiversity
crisis, the assessment findings have important implications for South Africa, a megadiverse country with a
population that relies extensively on the use of wild species for food, energy, medicine, and income, amongst
many other purposes. This Commentary reflects on implications of the IPBES assessment for South Africa,
drawing on insights from local contributing authors. |
