speaking for the environment
The Waterberg Nature Conservancy
was formed in 1989 by three landowners who believed that they could make a difference in conserving this precious wilderness while also becoming involved in the necessary development strategies that are inevitable in a growing community with ever-changing demographics.
Today, our 70 members represent some 160,000 hectares together employing over 1,000 people. We reflect a variety of bush activities – private reserves and private homes, tourism operations, game ranching, hunting, commercial agriculture, conservation research, environmental education, and small business.
The Conservancy’s objectives are to:
♦
Promote, conserve and protect the fauna, flora and wilderness areas, historical sites, river systems and natural heritage sites within the Waterberg Mountains of Limpopo Province.
♦
Promote and further the common interests of its members in regard to the awareness of environmental issues by way of education, research, sustainable utilization and tourism.
♦
Promote and support the upliftment, education and needs of the people employed within the Conservancy and surrounding rural communities.
♦
Promote, support, or oppose legislation, or other measures, affecting the Conservancy and its members.
♦
Represent its members in dealing with government departments, other authorities and the public generally, and do all such things as may be necessary in the best interests of the Conservancy.
