Abstract
South Africa is one of the most biodiverse countries in the world and even with conservation
initiatives in place continues to face biodiversity loss. There is a need to prioritise areas for
conservation as resources for conservation purposes are limited in South Africa. From prioritisation
methods reviewed it was found that prioritisation indices normally use one or a combination of
variables that measure stock; and/or variables that measure threat.
