Abstract
- The article reviews the impact of invasive alien plants in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and Serengeti National Park in South Africa. Invasive alien species pose a real and significant threat to many of Africa's conservation areas. Trade and travel are well-recognized pathways for the accidental introduction of invasive alien plants and this article discusses the techniques for controlling them. The article concludes that early detection and monitoring coupled with regular surveys need to be conducted and emphasizes the importance of adopting biological control programs.
