This legislation guideline, published by WWF South Africa, provides a comprehensive overview of the legal obligations for land users and businesses managing alien and invasive species (AIS) in South Africa. It details the requirements across multiple statutes, including the Biodiversity Act, the Conservation of Agricultural Resources Act, and the National Water Act, focusing on permitting, control categories, and penalties for non-compliance.

This guide by WWF South Africa provides technical instructions for preparing Invasive Alien Plant (IAP) control plans. It details field verification methods, species-specific clearing strategies based on growth forms and age, and a mathematical framework for calculating the person days and costs required for clearing operations.

This document provides guidelines for calculating clearing time based on the type of vegetation, the age of the plants, and the percentage of infestation.

This fact sheet by WWF South Africa describes the Boland Groot Winterhoek Strategic Water Source Areas (SWSA) Collective, a multistakeholder platform established in 2022 to secure critical water-rich catchments in the Western Cape. The Collective coordinates efforts to rehabilitate ecological infrastructure, manage invasive alien plants, and align governance between national and local levels to ensure water security for millions of residents and regional agriculture.

A training manual by WWF South Africa for rural livestock farmers to understand climate change and implement adaptation strategies across water, feed, animal health, and herd management.

The Sustainable Landscape Finance Coalition's Finance Solution Approach® is a four-stage framework (Incubation, Strategic Development, Piloting, and Scalability) designed to develop viable finance solutions for landscapes. By identifying 'building blocks' and conducting viability checks before piloting, the approach aims to reduce costs and failures while increasing the ability to scale successful conservation finance innovations across different contexts.

This fact sheet describes several 'Finance Solution Incubators' designed to unlock sustainable financial mechanisms for conservation landscapes in South Africa, covering tax incentives, biodiversity offsets, carbon payments, municipal property rates, and debt instruments.

This fact sheet, produced by WWF South Africa and the Wilderness Foundation Africa, provides a comprehensive directory of national and international emergency and relief funds and finance mechanisms established to mitigate the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The list is categorized by focal areas, including human development, SMMEs (small, micro, and medium enterprises), tourism, conservation, agriculture, and other sectors, detailing the eligible applicants, funding values, and application status for each source.

The report by WWF South Africa outlines a strategic framework for conservation finance to support South African National Parks' (SANParks) Vision 2040. It advocates for a 'whole-of-society approach' involving government, the private sector, and civil society to move beyond fragmented funding and implement large-scale, complementary financial mechanisms to protect biodiversity and support sustainable livelihoods.

This briefing by WWF South Africa advocates for an ambitious, people-centred approach to South Africa's third National Biodiversity Strategic Action Plan (NBSAP) for 2025-2035, specifically targeting the Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) goal of conserving 30% of land, waters, and seas.

The Low-Carbon Mobility Challenge Toolkit, published by WWF South Africa, provides a comprehensive guide for municipalities to organize experiential learning events that promote sustainable transport. The challenge encourages teams to navigate a city using low-carbon transport options, with the winner being the team with the lowest carbon footprint rather than the fastest time.

This 2021 guide by the Agricultural Research Council (ARC) details the control of four invasive Hakea species in South Africa. It advocates for an integrated management approach combining mechanical removal, limited chemical use (Tebuthiuron), and biological control using specific insects and fungi to manage these prohibited category 1b weeds.

This guide provides technical instructions for the biological control of alien invasive hakea species in South Africa, specifically focusing on silky, rock, sweet, and willow hakea. It details the use of various biological control agents—including fungi and insects—and explains how to integrate these with mechanical and chemical control methods to manage infestations in mountain catchments.

This report details the findings of the Biodiversity Management Agreement (BMA) Tax Incentive Incubator, a project by the Sustainable Landscape Finance Coalition (including WWF-SA and Wilderness Foundation Africa). The incubator investigated how to unlock a dormant tax incentive under section 37C(1) of the Income Tax Act No. 58 of 1962 for the conservation management of species and habitats in South Africa. The investigation concluded that the necessary building blocks for the finance solution are present, leading to the launch of a pilot project targeting rhino and lion conservation between July 1, 2021, and June 30, 2022.

This fact sheet by WWF South Africa discusses the role of informal reclaimers (waste pickers) in African cities and argues for their integration into a circular economy to address environmental pollution and socio-economic challenges.

The Khetha program (2018-2022), implemented by WWF South Africa and WWF Mozambique and funded by USAID, aims to protect elephant and rhino populations in the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Conservation Area (GLTFCA). The program addresses wildlife trafficking by strengthening law enforcement and the judiciary in South Africa and Mozambique, and by improving the socio-economic conditions and governance of local communities to reduce their vulnerability to organized crime syndicates.

A guide by WWF South Africa regarding food labeling regulations and date labels in South Africa, highlighting how a lack of legal requirements for explanatory text leads to consumer misunderstanding and food waste.

The Sustainable Landscape Finance Coalition Survey 1 results indicate that a plurality of conservation stakeholders face significant funding shortages, with 44.44% reporting insufficient financing. Key barriers include a reliance on short-term donor cycles and limited access to diverse funding streams. Respondents emphasized the importance of stakeholder collaboration and the integration of community needs to achieve long-term financial and environmental sustainability.

This policy brief by WWF South Africa examines the water-energy-food (WEF) nexus in rural South Africa, specifically the Eastern Cape. It advocates for a transdisciplinary, bottom-up governance approach that integrates local and indigenous knowledge to address systemic inequalities and resource insecurity.

The WWF Sanlam Living Waters Partnership Five-year Review documents the outcomes of a collaboration launched in August 2007 between WWF South Africa and Sanlam to manage South Africa's marine and freshwater ecosystems. The partnership focused on innovative conservation solutions, capacity building, and public awareness to address water scarcity and the degradation of aquatic resources.
