Wildlife – globally and in the Western Cape – continues to be threatened by the erosion of natural habitat through various forms of development; conflict with human populations; exploitation for commercial gain; sport and recreation (such as hunting), and many others.
The effective conservation of wildlife in the Western Cape is therefore a vital part of the overall strategy to protect its rich natural heritage. The Wildlife Management Programme is informed by CapeNature’s overall strategic approach, and places particular emphasis on integrating ecological and socioeconomic objectives, supported by an approach of co-operative governance. It is designed to draw all key stakeholders into the process of managing the Western Cape’s wildlife resources on a sustainable basis.
