Analysis of Medicinal Plants in Gauteng

Medicinal plant species hold significant economic and cultural value, yet the lack of knowledge regarding their presence within our reserves poses a serious threat to their existence.

Without proper understanding of what species are present and where they are located, these valuable plants are at risk of extinction without warning. However, by gaining insight into the biodiversity of our reserves, we can easily track trends and identify potential threats. This knowledge enables us to develop monitoring programs and regulations aimed at safeguarding the remaining medicinal plant species. By taking proactive measures, we can ensure the preservation of these invaluable resources for future generations.
