The Barberton-Makhonjwa Sustainable Conservation Finance Model

This project seeks to establish mechanisms to ensure the financial viability and sustainability of the Barberton-Makhonjwa World Heritage Site. The site encompasses the Barberton Nature Reserve, the Care for Wild Rhino Rehabilitation Centre and various areas of communally- and privately-owned land in their surrounds. It includes three established gold mining operations of Barberton Mines (Pan African Resources), which pre-dates the protected area. Conservation Outcomes is providing technical support to establish a strategic partnership between Barberton Mines and Barberton Nature Reserve in support of the Barberton-Makhonjwa Sustainable Conservation Finance Model and is assisting in protected area expansion efforts and the development socio-economic benefits amongst communities living around the Barberton Nature Reserve.
