At the national level, the Department of Environmental Affairs spent 13% of its budget (around ZAR 576 million) in 2011-12 on biodiversity-related projects. The bulk of the expenditure for biodiversity comes from the provincial level, where all but two provinces (Gauteng and Northern Cape) allocate more than half their environmental expenditures to biodiversity. The provincial-level biodiversity-related expenditure amounted to ZAR 1.3 billion in 2012-13 (nearly double compared with the 2007-08 expenditure).
