Abstract

South Africa is the third most biologically diverse country in the world, with between 250,000 to 1,000,000 species and exceptional levels of endemism.1 Unfortunately, this global treasure also has the highest known concentration of threatened plants, and the highest extinction estimates anywhere in the world.2 This reality coexists with an apartheid history of dispossession that produced a starkly unequal land ownership pattern along racial lines and widespread rural poverty.
