The working for water programme Evolution of a payments for ecosystem services mechanism that addresses both poverty and ecosystem service delivery in South Africa
TL;DR: A payments for ecosystem services (PES) system came about in South Africa with the establishment of the government-funded Working for Water (WfW) programme that cleared mountain catchments and riparian zones of invasive alien plants to restore natural fire regimes, the productive potential of land, biodiversity, and hydrological functioning as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biogeography and the selection of priority areas for conservation of South African coastal fishes
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared different approaches to the selection of marine protected area sites for the conservation of South Africa's coastal fish diversity, and developed a pragmatic approach in which data are refined to include species' core distributions only.
Journal ArticleDOI
Economic value of terrestrial and marine biodiversity in the Cape Floristic Region: implications for defining effective and socially optimal conservation strategies
TL;DR: The Cape Floristic Region is renowned for its beauty and floral diversity as well as other nature pursuits such as whale watching and angling, but invasion of aliens, transformation of natural vegetation and overexploitation of resources threaten the sustainability of this value.
Journal ArticleDOI
The existence value of biodiversity in South Africa: how interest, experience, knowledge, income and perceived level of threat influence local willingness to pay
TL;DR: This article investigated the public interest, experience and knowledge of biodiversity and used contingent valuation methods to estimate its existence value, with emphasis on the internationally significant fynbos biome in the Western Cape.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assessed, quantified and valued the ecosystem services of 32 coastal lagoons and found that the definitions of ecosystem services are still not generally accepted, and the quantification of ecosystem service is made in many different ways, using different units.
