The Southern African Lepidoptera Conservation Assessment (SALCA) was a collaborative venture between the Lepidopterists’ Society of Africa (LepSoc Africa), the Brenton Blue Trust (BBT) and the South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI), and formed part of the National Biodiversity Assessment (NBA). SALCA was founded on the importance of Lepidoptera both ecologically and as biodiversity indicators and the proven expertise of the participants during the Southern African Butterfly Conservation Assessment (SABCA). The main outcomes of the SALCA project are presented and discussed here.The SALCA tool, a custom-designed interactive distribution database, enabled high quality data to be derived so that accurate conservation assessments could be produced in accordance with IUCN methodology. The Red Lists of SALCA and SABCA facilitated the first opportunity to calculate the Red List Index (RLI) for South African butterflies during the period from 2012–2018. Other metrics required for the NBA included protection level and threats analyses. A further outcome was the critical habitat mapping for butterflies, which formed part of a screening tool implemented by SANBI, to ensure that land use changes did not cause any further loss of butterfly biodiversity.A comprehensive distribution database was developed for South African moths, enabling data to be analysed so that moth species potentially threatened could be short-listed for further investigation.Geographical hotspots and ecosystems (vegetation types) containing butterflies of conservation concern are highlighted. The societal, economic and human wellbeing benefits of conserving Lepidoptera are identified. Responses by LepSoc Africa to the increasing pressures on South African Lepidoptera biodiversity, are also reported on and discussed. The significant outcomes of SABCA and SALCA are benchmarked against a well-known European butterfly atlasing and conservation assessment project.The 165 SALCA Red Lists and conservation assessments are presented at the end of this publication.

- Abstract
Issue consists of one article divided into downloadable PDFs. This section contains the conservation assessments and Red Listings (all global) of the taxa assessed during the Southern African Lepidoptera Conservation Assessment (SALCA) project, ordered alphabetically by family and then by genus, species and subspecies. Details of the methods used can be found in the main article, with each assessment set out as follows: Taxon scientific name followed by the describer of the taxon and the date. English and Afrikaans common names. Name of the assessor/ taxon author. Red Listing with relevant categories and criteria, as per the IUCN Red Listing protocol (IUCN, 2017). For those Least Concern taxa which are rare, their rarity category is also given. Also indicated are those taxa endemic to the South Africa. Taxon images are arranged with males above and females below (upper side and underside). Specimen label data and photo credits are tabulated on pages 155–160. Seasonality table: This table shows the months of occurrence of the taxon, starting August and ending July. Each month is divided into quarters. Quarters for which there are Accepted records are highlighted in grey. Distribution map: The map’s extent is for South Africa. Data points are displayed for Accepted and Locally Extinct records. The following key is used for each data point: Red List category Symbol EX (also if a taxon is locally extinct) Black CR‒PE Dark purple CR Red EN Orange VU Yellow NT Mustard DD Lilac LC (rare categories) Blue LC Green Type locality: As originally stated by the describer. Taxonomy: Highlighting any relevant taxonomic issues. Distribution: A description of the taxon’s distribution. Habitat: A description of the taxon’s habitat. Vegetation types: The vegetation types where the taxon is found, based on the 2018 vegetation map (SANBI, 2018), for records flagged as both Accepted and Locally Extinct. For those sites where the taxon is locally extinct, the vegetation types are given in parentheses. Assessment rationale: The assessment rationale provides information which justifies the Red Listing and related categories and criteria. Change in status from the Southern African Butterfly Conservation Assessment (SABCA): For those taxa where the Red Listing changed from the previous SABCA assessment of 2012 (Mecenero et al., 2013), an evaluation is given of whether or not the change in status is genuine or non-genuine. Threats: A description of any threats relevant to the taxon. Conservation measures and research required: Any conservation measures or research required are mentioned here, where relevant. Relevant literature: Taxon-specific references published since SABCA are listed in this field, where applicable. The key references listed below were perused for all assessments.

The Red List Index (RLI) measures change in the aggregate extinction risk of species. It is a key indicator for tracking progress toward nine of the Aichi and many proposed post‐2020 Global Biodiversity Framework Targets. Here, we consider two formulations of the RLI used for reporting biodiversity trends at national scales. Disaggregated global RLIs measure changing national contributions to global extinction risk and are currently based on five taxonomic groups, while national RLIs measure changing national extinction risk and are based on taxonomic groups assessed multiple times in country. For 74% of nations, the disaggregated global RLI is currently based on three or fewer taxonomic groups. Meanwhile, national RLIs from selected pilot countries Finland, South Africa, and Brazil are computed from twelve, eight, and nine taxonomic groups, respectively. The national RLI and the disaggregated global RLI measure different aspects of biodiversity, in that the former detects national trends in populations of species for which each country is responsible while the latter provides standardized comparisons of nations' contributions to the global extinction risk of the same species groups. As governments commit to the post‐2020 Global Biodiversity Framework, we encourage them to monitor a standard set of taxonomic groups representing different biomes using both RLI formulations to ensure effective target tracking and accurate feedback on their conservation investments.

- Abstract
The article focuses on the move of the Cape Floristic Region (CFR) to investigate the effect of invasive alien plants on the movement of other organisms in South Africa. It states that the CFR observes the invasive plant, Black Wattle, on the movement of insects and fungi in the Knysna-Tsitsikamma forest complex. The CFR finds out that invasive plants invade natural habitats and acquire pests and diseases that may affect the ecosystem.
