The Biodiversity Intactness Index for Africa is estimated by convening over one hundred experts in African biodiversity. Collectively, these experts hold invaluable knowledge about how diverse human activities in different African regions are impacting the populations of African species, from lions to lizards. The BII provides a means of aggregating this knowledge into biodiversity data for decision-making.
An initiative led by the Center for Sustainability Transitions (CST) at Stellenbosch University, in partnership with the South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI) and made possible through the JWO research grant.
The development of the BII depends on the input of experts across the continent to adequately represent African biodiversity. The index will be presented in a usable form for decision making. Join our network to get involved or to stay updated as the project progresses.
