The present geological period has more species than any other, yet the current rate of extinction of species is greater now than at any time in the past. Ecosystems and communities are being degraded and destroyed, and species are being driven to extinction. The species that persist are losing genetic variation as the number of individuals in populations shrinks, unique populations and subspecies are destroyed, and remaining populations become increasingly isolated from one another. The cause of this loss of biological diversity at all levels is the range of human activity that alters and destroys natural habitats to suit human needs.” (Primack, 2002). CapeNature launched its State of Biodiversity Programme (SoBP) to assess and monitor the state of biodiversity in the Western Cape in 1999. This programme delivered its first report in 2002 and these reports are updated every five years. The current report (2007) reports on the changes to the state of vertebrate biodiversity and land under conservation usage. -

Lepidoptera Collecting in Kenya and Tanzania
Vol. 4 No. 1 1993 BROS: Kenya and Tanzania Lepidoptera 17 TROPICAL LEPIDOPTERA, 4(1): 16-25 LEPIDOPTERA COLLECTING IN KENYA AND TANZANIA EMMANUEL BROS DE PUECHREDON1 "La Fleurie," Rebgasse 28, CH-4102 Binningen BL, Switzerland ABSTRACT.- Situated in tropical Africa, on both sides of the Equator, Kenya and Tanzania possess an extraordinary rich Lepidoptera fauna (according to Larsen's latest book on Kenya: 871 species only for the Rhopalocera and Grypocera). The present paper reports on the author's participation in a non-entomological mini-expedition during January 1977 across those two countries, with comments on the areas where collecting was possible and practiced by him as a serious amateur lepidopterist. In addition there are photos of some interesting landscapes and, last but not least, a complete list of all the species captured and noted. RESUME.- En pleine Afrique equatoriale, a cheval sur 1'Equateur, le Kenya et la Tanzanie possedent une faune de Lepidopteres extraordinairement riche (871 especes seulement pour les Rhopaloceres et Hesperiides du Kenya, selon le tout recent ouvrage de Larsen). La presente note relate une mini-expedition non specifiquement entomologique en Janvier 1977 a travers ces deux pays, avec commmentaires de 1'auteur, lepidopteriste amateur eclaire, sur les lieux ou il a eu la possibilite de collectionner, recit agremente de quelques photos de biotopes interessants et surtout avec la liste complete des especes capturees et notees.

Driftsands Nature Reserve Complex PAMP
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Driftsands Nature Reserve is situated on the Cape Flats, approximately 25 km east of Cape Town on the National Route 2, in the Western Cape Province. The reserve is situated adjacent to the Medical Research Centre in Delft and is bounded by highways and human settlement on all sides. Driftsands is bound in the northwest by the R300 and the National Route 2 and Old Faure road in the south. The northern boundary is bordered by private landowners, while the eastern boundary is formed by Mfuleni Township. The Nature Reserve falls within the City of Cape Town Metropolitan Municipality. The reserve experiences a Mediterranean-type climate with warm dry summers, and cool wet winter seasons. Gale force winds from the south east prevail during the summer months, while during the winter months, north westerly winds bring rain. Driftsands Nature Reserve represents of one of the largest remaining remnants of intact Cape Flats Dune Strandveld which is classified as Endangered, and harbours at least two Endangered Cape Flats endemics, Muraltia mitior and Passerina paludosa. The Kuils River with associated floodplain wetlands, dune strandveld depressions and seeps are representative of a wetland type that has been subjected to high cumulative loss, and provides regulatory ecosystem services such as flood attenuation, ground water recharge/discharge and water quality improvement. The site provides access for cultural and/or religious practices and provides opportunities for quality curriculum based environmental education. Driftsands Nature Reserve is given the highest priority rating within the Biodiversity Network (BioNet), the fine scale conservation plan for the City of Cape Town. -

Type locality: South Africa: “Western Cape Province: Middenkrantz Berg, Fransch Hoek Mtns”. Diagnosis: Intermediate in size between Torynesis mintha and Torynesis magna. In males, especially, the postdiscal bar of the forewing upperside is lighter than in mintha, approaching that of magna and is broader than in the other two species. The ground-colour of the hindwing underside is deeper brown than in mintha. The black markings are heavier, and the silvery grey veining and markings have a purplish tone. In some specimens of hawequas the silvery grey markings are suppressed (Pringle et al., 1994). -

Nat. Croat. Vol. 27, No. 2, 407- 420*, 2018, Zagreb. In this paper, the plant lists of glasshouse succulents grown in the Botanical Garden from 1895 to 2017 are studied. Synonymy, nomenclature and origin of plant material were sorted. The lists of species grown in the last 122 years are constructed in such a way as to show that throughout that period at least 1423 taxa of succulent plants from 254 genera and 17 families inhabited the Garden’s cold glass- house collection.
