Tree Protection Co-operative Programme
The Tree Protection Cooperative Programme (TPCP), a programme of the Forestry and Agricultural Biotechnology Institute
(FABI), represents a cooperative venture between the major players in the South African Forestry Industry and the University
of Pretoria, to deal with tree disease problems. The programme is based on a membership concept where forestry
organisations are members and contribute to a collaborative effort through the payment of annual fees. The University of
Pretoria in turn provides the infrastructure necessary to conduct research into tree pests and diseases, which is
technologically complicated and thus expensive.

DST-NRF Centre of Excellence in Tree Health
Biotechnology
The Centre of Excellence in Tree Health Biotechnology (CTHB) at FABI represents one of six designated Science Centres
supported by the Government Department of Science and Technology (DST) and the National Research Foundation (NRF).
CTHB research concentrates on the health of native trees, particularly those in forests and it has both a national and and
international perspective. A core focus is to provide the highest possible quality of post graduate education in fields such as
plant pathology, entomology, biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, biotechnology and ecology. The CTHB functions
alongside the Tree Protection Co-operative Programme (TPCP) with the two programmes providing synergy for each other.

Centre for Applied Mycological Studies
The Centre for Applied Mycological Studies (CAMS) was established in 2003 through the collaboration between Council for
Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) Biosciences and the University of Pretoria at the Forestry and Agricultural
Biotechnology Institute (FABI). Both these institutions have joined forces in the protection and utilization of South Africa's
fungal biodiversity. CAMS functions as a vehicle to utilize and develop value added products and technologies from the
indigenous mycoflora in South Africa and the rest of the continent. The joint collaboration between FABI and CSIR
Biosciences makes CAMS the ideal means to bring research and development in mycology close to the technological
applications in the industry. CAMS also strives to address the need for developing human resources and popularizing
mycology population in South Africa.

“Given the current importance placed on ecotourism
and the preservation of unique southern African flora
and fauna, it is clearly timely that some thought,
financial resources and research be focused on
preserving the basal links of the ecosystem, which
are the fungi. Clearly, South Africa’s undescribed
fungi represent a vast biological resource which has
yet to be collected, cultured and studied.
Undoubtedly the fungi of southern Africa contain
numerous beneficial biological properties and other
attributes that could be used to greatly improve the
quality of life for all future generations of humanity.”
(Crous et al. 2006)
