On 22 November, the Centre for Invasion Biology (C·I·B) hosted its Annual Research Meeting in Stellenbosch.
A study led by C·I·B Core Team member, Brian van Wilgen, found that clearing efforts by the Working for Water programme have only reached about 14% of the estimated invaded area in South Africa, and that alien plant invasions continued to grow when assessed at a national scale.
C·I·B Core Team member, Brian van Wilgen, was recently awarded the National Research Foundation’s (NRF) Lifetime Achievement Award for his research contributions in the fields of ecology and biological invasions.
A study by Prof Solomon Newete and colleagues from the C∙I∙B and the Agricultural Research Council will help the City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality to address the disparity in the urban green structure between the City’s poor and affluent suburbs.
