There is a general pessimism about progress in managing invasive species. But, we all know about success stories. We need to scale up and replicate such "seeds" of success! Read how we can "create alternative visions of the future" to ensure better invasive species management.

A new biodiversity research project called BioSCape, of which NRF-SAEON is a leading partner, will be launched in the Western Cape on Tuesday, 17 October. The project will link data collected from satellites and airplanes with field observations: nrf.ac.za/new-biodiversi…

After a successful wet season campaign, our BioSoundSCape team is active again! Great field work and collaborations in South Africa for BioSCape 🌿🍃🐦‍⬛🛩️

Great work #TeamCSIR! A great BioSCape aquatic team!

Truly exciting to start #fieldwork as part of the NASA BioSCape Program in S. Africa! NASA aircraft were flying over Algoa Bay today, while we were measuring #phytoplankton and #carbon dynamics in this coastal area that is one of the world’s 36 #biodiversity #hotspots!

Why study ecology you may ask? Well this week we get to do doughnuts with NASA planes 😁 BioSCape #ilovescience #sciencetwitter

Sampling South African fynbos! BioSCape !
