Abstract Large herbivores contribute the lion’s share of the gross national product in southern Africa. Main parts of the grassland ecosystems are used for livestock and game farming. Additionally, wild-ranging large herbivores are main attractants for tourism, providing an increasing contribution to the economy, and they are of high value for nature conservation. Next to animal husbandry, “bush meat” (including sport hunting) is an important food resource in southern Africa. It is expected that under the pressure of future human population growth, the pressure on wild and domestic herbivores will intensify. In this context, knowledge about the nutritional values of different food plants seems to be indispensable and of high importance for different stakeholders, ranging from the management of land use (e.g., livestock and game farming) to the management of wildlife conservation. Therefore, SASSCAL created an open-access database on the nutritional quality of food plants, HERBFEEDS. ?
