Question NW1972 to the Minister of Environmental Affairs
29 June 2018 - NW1972
Steenkamp, Ms J to ask the Minister of Environmental Affairs
On what date (a) was a certain report (details furnished) given to her, and (b) will the report be made public?
Reply:
a) The report was received on 09 April 2018.
b) The report will be released as soon as the process of developing a policy response to key policy messages as contained in the report has been finalised. Such requires consultation with affected sector departments, provincial conservation authorities and relevant stakeholders. However, there is a special publication on the African Biodiversity and Conservation Journal (open access) titled “Contributions to the National Status Report on Biological Invasions in South Africa” consisting of various scientific papers that informed the development of the status report.
