Indringerplante, of IAP’s, is plante wat nie natuurlik voorkom in ‘n spesifieke gebied nie en dikwels ‘n beduidende negatiewe impak op die omgewing het deur habitatvernietiging te veroorsaak, die beskikbaarheid van water te verminder, en die risiko en intensiteit van veldbrande te verhoog.
Invasive alien plants, or IAPs, are plants that are not native to a specific area and often have a significant negative impact on the environment by causing habitat destruction, reducing the availability of water, and increasing the risk and intensity of wildfires.
Auditors should familiarise themselves with the different types of invasive alien plants (IAPs) that are commonly found on farms, and their different categories as defined by the National Environmental Management: Biodiversity Act 10 of 2004 (NEMBA).
