A list of taxa currently and historically regulated under South Africa's National Environmental Management: Biodiversity Act, Alien & Invasive Species Regulations

This information is lists of alien species regulated in South Africa under the National Environmental Management: Biodiversity Act in an accessible form.
The first worksheet is intended to be between the latest regulatory list and various taxonomic backbones
The other worksheets link to particular versions of the regulations (including version sent for public comment that were never published), the intention is for this to be an exact copy (including formatting), please report any inconsistencies between this and the published version to john.wilson2@gmail.com, but before doing so please double-check that what is presented here, is not how it is presented in the lists themselves
The data were extracted by John Wilson at various dates from pdfs in the government gazette, contact john.wilson2@gmail.com

Please refer to "Wilson, J.R.U. et al. (in preparation) The regulation of alien species in South Africa" for further details
