Projects

A pioneering initiative by Oppenheimer Generations Research and Conservation, supported by Rewild Capital on the carbon development side, aimed to restore and conserve a section of African rangeland at scale. Tswalu is the first private protected area in South Africa to earn carbon credits.

Shangani is a 45,000 ha mixed cattle and wildlife ranch in the Matabeleland South province of Zimbabwe. The ranch is pioneering a holistic management style to sustainably manage cattle and wildlife with a view to promoting rangeland regeneration and wealth creation for local communities.

The Chobe Enclave area is located in the Chobe District in North-East Botswana. This area encompasses 5 villages (5,134 people) and supports livestock grazing on 115,000 ha of communal rangeland. Serving as an initial instance, this pilot project is 19,223 ha working within a larger eligible area of 115,000 ha, aiming to create a substantial long-term climate and community impact. 

Singita’s lodges embody a reverence for nature and a commitment to memorable, conservation‑led experiences. Originating nearly a century ago with a 30,000‑acre Lowveld property that became part of Sabi Sand, the vision expanded across four countries while preserving a single purpose: to conserve wilderness and its wildlife.

SANParks protects South Africa’s biodiversity through 21 national parks—including three World Heritage sites and ten marine protected areas—covering over 4 million ha on land and ~370,000 ha at sea. These parks comprise about 70% of state terrestrial protected areas and 22% of state‑managed marine areas, with five parks part of transfrontier conservation areas with neighbouring SADC countries.

Kavango‑Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area (KAZA) is one of the world’s largest transboundary conservation areas, spanning Angola, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Its forests, grasslands, wetlands and savannas support rich wildlife and human communities, but land degradation driven by human activities and environmental pressures now threatens the region’s ecological integrity.
