My area of expertise is African bat taxonomy, which in my case is (purely) literature study and results in the yearly publication of the “African Chiroptera Report” (https://africanbats.org/publications/african-chiroptera-report/) where Ernest Seamark and myself try to summarize the published information on African bats.
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.
