Rare plant specialists from Pretoria University, re-application of thousands of critical threats Magaliesberg aloe (Aloe Peglerae) Fidan in nature.
Project supported by South African Botanical SocietyAn endemic is the first basic reintoduction efforts to connect to the South African aloe type.
Magaliesberg Aloe is a slow growing type known to the magnificent red flowers. Only in the north of Magaliesberg in northern Pretoria grows on northern slopes.
The plant has a very narrow distribution diapers – Gauteng’s Magaliesberg, Gauteng’s northern western and mountainous ranges are the collection of local and orphanage of future African and future Africa Manie Van Der Schijf Botanic Garden At the University of Pretoria.
Aloe was noticed in 2016 after a survey, found a critical threat, found the total population number to reduce about 43% over ten years. The largest guilty plant collector and gardeners are illegal harvesting.
“It grows in such a small area and grows so slowly, and the next generation is slowly growing slowly and slowly, slowly,” he said.
Parts of the limited number, especially in Witwatersberg, were threatened.
“A very surprising plant; when they look really good, it will really look good in mind and then take it well and then you think this or two years in this or two years,” he said.
“It is very good to these very harsh conditions and only grows on the tops of the northern-facing ranges.”
Since November last year, more than 1,500 seedlings were planted at intervals of Mamelodi above Mamelodi. The idea continuously, only the young plants are the only grass for Aloe, which is naturally marked, but also for the northern region protection project coordinator.
Back to nature
“We know from historical records that this is used to grow up in the mountain above Aloe Mamelod. They know that there is no risk of interfering with the genetics of wild populations available by redefining the seedlings in the area.”
The area is managed Mothong African Heritage TrustTraditional health practitioner Ephraim Cebisa to maintain the natural vegetation of the mountain set up by Mabena, including a broader community, to provide people about the protection of the natural environment.
“In special cooperation between the Botanical Gardens and Botanical Society (South Africa), he chose the end of the holy leash, because it was historically neglected in terms of protection or official conversation,” he said.
“Dr. Mabena, the manager of this part of this part of the last 20 years, protecting the ecosystem, by maintaining the ecosystem, and with the society, worked with the society with the importance of entire ecosystems.
“We wanted to support his work and start this type to return it to return it, and his family and his family had legal guardianship and had an unofficial nature reserve and did an exceptional work.”
The project is possible in only 20 years to “Mabena’s” has kept this place and keeping it among all the developments.
Without Mabena, Flora and Fauna, it cannot be a traditional treatment, it is the duty of mankind to protect and protect natural resources.
“Imagine that we do almost everything in the mountain? Surely, nature will remain with anything. So we have to plain the nature.”
Offers
Hay said that during December, heavy rains in the northern part of South Africa have not harmed the seedlings planted in other ways. For the first time, this seedlings would be a decade ago.
The Human Plan was developed by the best practices in Arnold Frisby, Pretoria University and a candidate in a Doctor Candidate Arnoly in Botany in CYCAD and local plant kindergarten.
“To build saplings in a natural distribution range in shelter spots, for example
The idea behind the reintroduction project, Hay, Jason Sampson – Manie Van Der Sammijf Botanical Garden General Curator, Also Specialist Children’s House Andy De Moisture General Aloe farm Near Hartbeespo in northern Johannesburg.
Aloe Farm donated 8,000-year-old magaliesberg Aloe saplings in July 2023.
These are university staff Manie Van Der Schiff in the University of Hatfield in the Botanical Garden of Nurse, Botany Society volunteers and volunteers Johannesburg Juicy Societyand experiments from the University of Tshwane Technology.
Many of these team members later helped replace the upper seedlings from Mamelodi.
The team, Clanwilliam Cedar Tree and Keydar Tree and Key Tower, are inspired by the example specified by other reintoduction projects that support critical endangered species and perseverance Erica Verticillatasaid Martina TreurnichtNational Protection Project Manager of the Botanical Society.
Citizens are very important for the success of the programs to ensure scientific and volunteers, the survival of species and perseverance. “Volunteers play a role in initiatives to increase awareness in local communities and see people working together for this purpose.”
With the participation of the Aloe Farm in the project, the bean said: “We believe in protection by propaganda. It is important to protect the types, protecting variety.”
Hay added that in terms of conservation, when plants are not very flower, it is important food sources for Magaliesberg animals during the winter. “In addition, it completely disrupts the generation recruitment of the species of species when mature plants are already removed from small existing populations.”
The larger plants will be planted in the future African gardens, where Frisby’s doctoral research. They can be flower for eight years. “The seeds collected from this new satellite population will continue to endeavors to re-establish the types of species to help build populations in different ages of species.”
Hay, Gauteng’s West Rand has a small, isolated population with a small, isolated population near Krugersdorp.
“We already have a completely extinguishing situation in the wild, but my colleague Arnold Frisby has a lot of illegal, but there are seeds, so there are seeds potentially a little satellite population.”
Protect the pastures of Gauteng
Due to the urban driving, Gauteng was very small part of a whole habitat. But Gauteng boasts pastures Rich BiodiversityOeth, many people, many people, said that the pastures of the empty beach and Barren Veld said.
“Many South Africans are aware of the richness of Fynbos and species; recently in the juicy kennel and the Northwest is more interested in the desert biome, but Gauteng’s pastures are only different and important.”
Encourages more people to participate in local green gaps. “It is very easy to accuse municipalities and the provincial and national government to prevent these gaps, but the result belongs to the residents.”
