ESWATINI NATIONAL TRUST COMMISSION
Conserving Eswatini's Natural and Cultural Heritage
The ENTC now has a new website, at www.entc.org.sz
Our logo is adapted from a painting by Phillip Dlamini, 1998, of a purple crested turaco. In traditional Swazi dress, the red feathers feature in the royal headdress, so this bird illustration is not only a symbol for wildlife conservation, but also of cultural heritage.
Eswatini, as a signatory to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and other multilateral environmental agreements, is part of the global community with obligations to provide information for ecosystem and PAs management. Knowledge on the country's biodiversity is critical for the systematic planning and management of biodiversity and reporting on its conservation status. This requires the identification, collection, collation and analysis of critical data and information on biodiversity, including ecosystem processes and services.
Prior to the commencement of this project, some of Eswatini's biodiversity baseline data was available from databases compiled for the Eswatini National Trust Commission (ENTC) and accessible from its website (about 20,570 records). This dataset has been upgraded and expanded, incorporating data from various sources, and work will continue on this until March 2018. As at August 2017, the data obtained includes 314 463 records 8144 taxa.
Datasets from the University of Eswatini and ADU-UCT virtual museum older records have not yet been obtained to be included yet.
