In 2012, the Sneeuberg Nature Reserve, in conjunction with four adjacent landowners, established the Compassberg Protected Environment (CPE), encompassing an area of approximately 26,000 hectares. This collaborative effort was undertaken in partnership with the Eastern Cape Parks and Tourism Agency's Stewardship Program, which aims to protect areas of specific natural importance and beauty by forming alliances with landowners. The Compassberg Protected Environment assumes a pivotal role in curbing excessive development, as well as mining and drilling activities for oil or gas, thereby safeguarding the overall integrity of the land. Noteworthy is the fact that the CPE holds the distinction of being the inaugural Protected Environment in the Eastern Cape and the second of its kind in South Africa.
