Photographic Competition 2012 Rules
We would like to welcome all the wildlife photographers in Africa (both members and non-members) to enter their photographs for the 2012 LepSoc photographic competition. The rules of the competition can be found here...
Policy on commercial use of Lepidoptera, including release of bred specimens
Commercial use of Lepidoptera is examined from scientific and conservation perspectives. Flight houses and butterfly gardening are encouraged because they are conservation-positive in more than one respect.
Blouberg Nature Reserve
LepSoc has recently signed an agreement with KuneMoya to survey the Blouberg Nature Reserve in Limpopo Province. Part of the agreement is to help train local guides, and in return members can benefit from discounted accommodation rates.
SABCA
SABCA (South African Butterfly Conservation Assessment) is a joint project between Lepsoc, ADU (Animal Demography Unit at University of Cape Town) and SANBI (South African National Biodiversity Institute). The main aim of the project is to establish a current Atlas of South African butterflies and to determine the Conservation Status of each species in line with SANBI’s overall goal of achieving this for all animals and plants in South Africa.
