Brief Introduction
The intention of State of Biodiversity reporting is to present qualitative and quantitative data, which describe the status of biodiversity and ecosystem services in Durban to highlight key threats to this biodiversity and to record actions aimed at protecting and managing it. These reports are produced annually, and this is eThekwini Municipality’s (EM) 11th State of Biodiversity Report. This report collates data relevant to the 2018/2019 municipal financial year1.
We are continually faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as
insoluble problems.
– John W. Gardner
