dc.description.abstract | The introduction and prevalence of invasive species is an
alarming reality in South Africa. The emergence of invasive
species has resulted in harmful consequences on various levels
and has adverse impacts on the environment and the economy.
Hence, biological invasions demand attention. The control and
eradication of invasive species can serve to minimise their
adverse impact. In 2019 the South African National Biodiversity
Institute highlighted the threats posed by biological invasions in
South Africa and specifically identified Polyphagous Shot Hole
Borer Beetles as a significant new invasive species in South
Africa that has a demonstrable ongoing detrimental impact on
varieties of trees. Polyphagous Shot Hole Borer Beetles have
been detected in various urban areas in South Africa, including
the City of Cape Town. This note briefly examines the control
and eradication of invasive species in urban areas in terms of
the South African legal framework, specifically against the
backdrop of the emergence of the Polyphagous Shot Hole Borer
Beetles in the City of Cape Town. | en_US |
