Scientists know very little about
the plants and animals in the Karoo, and there is an urgent need to document
the indigenous Karoo flora and fauna. This information will support responsible
decision-making around the question of shale gas and other infrastructure
development in the area.
What is BioBlitz?
A BioBlitz is an event for a short
period of time when groups of scientist, naturalists and volunteers conduct a
thorough field study to find and identify as many species of plants, animals,
microbes, fungi and other organisms as possible within a certain area.
