For some years now we have known that our freshwater ecosystems—our rivers, wetlands, lakes and pans—work hard in providing us with a range of services, like supply of freshwater, water purification and provision of natural products. We also know that freshwater ecosystems are the most threatened ecosystems globally, experiencing the greatest number of species extinctions.

THE NFEPA ATLAS TRAINING
The new NFEPA atlas training and support for potential users has already begun. About 500 people from a range of organisations and sectors attended the three training sessions that took place in Cape Town, KwaZulu-Natal and Pretoria. The Cape Town training sessions alone saw about 250 people in attendance—because of the positive turnout the training had to be conducted over two days. This training was aimed at anyone who is involved in policy-making, planning or decision-making where freshwater ecosystems are concerned. It gave the participants a chance to discuss the atlas and ask questions where there was a need to. It is hoped that more training sessions will be organised for the remaining provinces sometime in the near future, so watch this space.
