The Wildlands Conservation Trust, in turn, was formed in 2005 with the amalgamation of the KwaZulu-Natal Conservation Trust and the Wildlands Trust. It works mainly in KwaZulu-Natal, but its also supervises projects in neighbouring Mpumalanga. The Trust’s aim is to increase the area under formal conservation in both provinces, to achieve excellence in the management of these areas, to establish a benchmark for responsible tourism and to increase awareness of the biodiversity in the north eastern parts of the country.
