Babanango Game Reserve represents the result of a distinctive collaboration between forward-thinking local communities possessing land-ownership rights and dedicated philanthropic investors who acknowledged the significance of sustainable conservation practices for the well-being of both people and the planet. The land, now officially under conservation stewardship, had previously endured significant challenges due to decades of intense cattle grazing and illegal hunting.
Following a groundbreaking agreement with local communities, a substantial investment in infrastructure and a rewilding program was initiated. Currently, the reserve is making substantial progress towards restoring its natural state. Nearly 74% of the total reserve area has been contributed by surrounding community trusts, specifically Emcakwini, Esibongweni, and KwaNgono, placing community land ownership at the core of this conservation initiative. The lease income generated by the community trusts from Babanango Game Reserve benefits the beneficiaries, enhancing their collective quality of life. The true value for local communities lies in the creation of numerous new jobs, as 60% of the approximately 220 permanent positions are filled by individuals from the local communities. The project is wholeheartedly committed to skills development, upliftment, and vocational training, giving rise to a burgeoning 'wildlife-economy' in the neighboring communities as entrepreneurship takes root around the reserve.
