1 Working for Water A decade in Biocontrol Implementation Debbie Sharp DEA: EP
2 Twenty million hectares of South Africa were found to be invaded an area twice as large as previous estimates (i.e. the 1997 rapid reconnaissance using an expert-knowledge approach).
3 The estimated distribution of invasion (1,839,667 condensed hectares ) 82,852 ha 207,894 ha 26,986 ha 70,795 ha 327,547 ha 91,379 ha 359,077 ha 460,185 ha 212,952 ha
4 Projected cost (R35.6bn) to control existing biomass (mechanically & chemically) R2,8bn R3,6bn R0,9bn R1,2bn R6,4bn R1,9bn R6,9bn R8,0bn R3,9bn

6 Background Biocontrol implementation commenced in earnest in WfW BCO BCO Original budget R Current budget R 35m, with R18.9m for implementation Emphasis on job creation & monitoring
7 Biocontrol agents releases 2011
8 Working for Water Expenditure on Biological Control R, / / : Biological Control Research Mass rearing of Bio-control Agents Distribution of Bio-control Agents Capacity-building for Biological Control * * 15.6 Total spent on Biological Control Percentage of Working for Water Budget The Working for Water budget includes aligned programmes (e.g. Working for Land). To this should be added the contributions from other sources: R8m quarantine facility at Cedara, from KZN Invasive Alien Species Programme R2.8m additional support from the KZN Invasive Alien Species Programme R8m contribution by the Agricultural Research Council (Plant Protection Research Institute) R3m contribution by the CSIR, tertiary institutions and private sector interests R0m from the Wattle Growers Association

32 So what s interesting?
33 Data sets not complete releases from into 6000 sites Only 4420 sites have complete data sets Gaps in data where no data for years in some provinces Release data, monitoring data Presense/absense monitoring Post release evaluation monitoring Regional limits where agents established Regions were agents released but not found

35 So now? Ensure data completion and assessment National database on all biocontrol data All parties to submit data Release, selection, monitoring data forms upgraded Database of BC agents against plants
36 PAM teams to get baseline data Templates developed to use Information, including photo s downloaded Forms basis of NBD Baseline data available online, but GPS coordinates hidden

38 Future candidates for WfW and biocontrol?
39 So what are the questions that need answering?
40 Can we use the data of where agents are to predict which agents prefer what environments? Can we use the substantial spread as indication of success? Will the PAM be indicative of where the agents have gone? Can we use PAM to pick up gaps in dispersal? Will a national database be beneficial? And to whom? How does this link in with other programmes SANBI (Cybertracker) Will the app for biocontrol be used? Can this system talk to cybertracker data?
41 Sometimes it is quite difficult to implement Biocontrol.. Dankie Thank you Siyabonga
