This publication was in compliance with sections 89 and 100 of the National Environmental Management: Biodiversity Act (Act no. 10 of 2004). “The NBSAP is the primary instrument for implementing the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) at a national level, setting out a country’s vision, priorities, targets, and actions for conserving and sustainably using biodiversity,” explained the Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment (DFFE). “It determines a nation’s contribution toward global goals while reflecting its specific national circumstances, priorities and capabilities.”
