Natural Resource Conservation & Management

Sustainable Resource Management

Natural resource conservation and management is about being careful with our land and other natural resources. When we mine, we should do it in a way that minimizes damage to nature, and we should use resources wisely so they last a long time, ensuring their availability for future generations.

South Africa is rich in natural resources, but unsustainable practices threaten their long-term viability. Responsible management balances economic development with environmental protection, creating sustainable livelihoods while preserving our natural heritage.

Ecosystem Protection

Preserving biodiversity, protecting endangered species, and maintaining healthy ecosystems through conservation areas and sustainable land use practices.

Sustainable Mining

Implementing responsible mining practices that minimize environmental impact, ensure worker safety, and contribute to local community development.

Community Engagement

Involving local communities in resource management decisions, recognizing traditional knowledge, and ensuring equitable benefit sharing from natural resources.
