PROTECTING THE UMKHOMAZI CATCHMENT
The WWF-Sappi partnership, established in 2021, focuses on strengthening water governance and biodiversity conservation in the Umkhomazi catchment. Key initiatives include the creation of the Umkhomazi Catchment Working Group, the clearing of 188 hectares of invasive alien vegetation to replenish 205.2 megalitres of water, and the implementation of sustainable rangeland management across 2,323 hectares. The project aims to secure 30,000 hectares of key biodiversity land, particularly within the Southern Drakensberg Strategic Water Source Area, while providing employment and environmental education to local communities.
