- W3186232261 abstract "Background: Research and management of biological invasions traditionally focuses on state operated large scale control initiatives, with little emphasis on volunteers. Volunteering can, however, contribute to detection, eradication and containment of invasive alien plant species (IAPS). Understanding the extent of involvement of volunteers in invasive alien species management is important. Similarly, understanding volunteers’ motivations to volunteering is important to improve the success of invasive alien species management. Objective: In this study we aimed to: 1) identify volunteer groups controlling IAPS in the Western Cape province of South Africa, 2) understand their practices and contributions towards detecting and controlling IAPS, 3) examine volunteer’s motivations for controlling IAPS, and, 4) identify the challenges individual volunteers and groups face. Methods: The data were collected using online questionnaires. Results: In total, we identified 52 volunteer groups. We broadly estimate that these groups clear nearly 8000 ha of land with estimated labour costs of ZAR 6.5 million annually (equivalent to USD 0.38 million) when aligned with formal state management cost estimates. Most volunteer groups raise their own funds to facilitate their work, however, many suggest support from government entities, landowners and Non-Government Organisations would help. Most volunteers (82%) detect and report invasive species to their team leaders, citizen science platforms and relevant authorities. Volunteers themselves gain physical and psychological fulfilment and build their social capital by meeting new people. Conclusion: Our findings point to the valuable contribution of these groups, but also the need for better co-ordination and engagement between volunteer groups and mandated authorities on science, policy and management." @default.
