African Biodiversity & Conservation , which has served the South African botanical community since its inception in 1921, is changing its name. The new subtitle, African Biodiversity & Conservation, reflects the expanded mandate of the South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI) in the biodiversity sciences. African Biodiversity & Conservation's rich scientific history of covering South Africa's fauna and flora will henceforth include content on African biodiversity under the Bothalia - African Biodiversity & Conservation umbrella. The geographical coverage of the journal will reflect issues relating to biodiversity on the African content.
