CONSERVATION LEGACY

Managing threats to nature

Alien Invasive Plants and Animals

Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife plays a key role in identifying, controlling, and managing alien invasive plants and animals that threaten KwaZulu-Natal’s rich biodiversity. These species, introduced from outside the region – intentionally or accidentally – often spread aggressively, outcompeting native species, degrading ecosystems, and impacting agriculture and water resources
