Description: A small unit within the University of Cape Town's Faculty of Science, undertaking research and extension and post-graduate teaching directed at improving the conservation status of the Cape Floristic Region.
The Plant Conservation Unit (PCU) was established in 1993 (originally as the Institute for Plant Conservation and later as the Leslie Hill Institute for Plant Conservation), as a result of a generous endowment to the University of Cape Town made by Mr Leslie Hill. It was initiated by Richard Cowling who led the institution from 1993 to 2000. Dave Richardson served as the Deputy Director from 1993 to 2004 and Wendy Paisley, as the Administrative Assistant from 1993 to 2000. Timm Hoffman was appointed as Director in 2001, Mandy Sauls as the Administrative Assistant in 2001 and Lindsey Gillson joined the team as the Deputy Director in 2006.
