Abstract
The project, which started in 1996
in partnership with the South
African Department of Land
Affairs (DLA), supports
communities that have a stake in nature
conservation areas through ownership, or a
claim to ownership, of part or all of a park
or reserve. In its first phase, which ended
in 2000, it worked with the community
owners of the Richtersveld National Park,
with the Makuleke people as they regained
ownership of the northern tip of the Kruger
National Park (KNP); and with three
communities living in the Kosi Bay Nature
Reserve. In its current, second phase,
TRANSFORM continues to work with the
Richtersveld and Makuleke, and has
expanded its support to other parts of the
country, mainly in the Eastern Cape and
Mpumalanga provinces.
