Kruger National Park invaders mapped

Considerable work was done to collate distribution data for invasive plants in the Kruger National Park (KNP). A large dataset was compiled from Cybertracker® records gathered by rangers over the past five years. These data were merged with all historical data. The resulting dataset is probably the most detailed set for invasive plant species available for any large protected area anywhere in the world and is being used in various studies and to improve management.
