Bothalia: African Biodiversity & Conservation, formerly known as Bothalia is a South African peer-reviewed open access scientific journal covering the fields of botany, zoology and biodiversity, produced by the South African National Biodiversity Institute.

[2] The journal is produced yearly, but articles are published on-line continually.

When the journal was renamed in 2014, as well as broadening the scope it was made open access and its contents made freely available under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) license.

The entire contents back to the first issue are available on the journal's website.

The journal was formally known by the name Bothalia alone, from 1922 to 2014 when the title was expanded to better reflect the role of the South African National Biodiversity Institute.
