Our Mission

A model to fast-track biodiversity assessment in Botanical Gardens around the world

ABOUT US

The project aims to develop a comprehensive inventory of Malaise-trappable arthropod species in all eleven South African National Botanic Gardens (NBG) by coupling a year-long sampling program with subsequent DNA barcode analysis of the specimens. Malaise traps will be deployed at 22 sites (two traps per NBG – one in the cultivated part of the garden, and the other in the non-cultivated part) followed by weekly harvesting of the trap catches
