HARTEBEESTFONTEIN CONSERVANCY
Conservancy - Cradle Of Humankind
The Conservancy - established in 2002 - is situated in Gauteng Province. The Conservancy falls in the valley between the top of the Magaliesberg and the top of the Witwatersberg, and borders the core zone of the Cradle of Humankind, and is in the Magaliesberg Biosphere Reserve, The fertile valley between the two ranges is both productive farm land and conservation areas.
Spanning approximately 5 000 hectares, it is zoned primarily for agriculture with the Magaliesberg Mountain enjoying the conservation status of "protected environment" under National legislation.
Action taken by the committee is guided by the memberships’ needs and the Conservancy Constitution. The Conservancy slogan, ”Where every footprint counts”, is indicative of the mission to embrace the heritage embedded in the area and to protect the biodiversity that will ensure a sustainable future.
Inevitably, every action, good or bad, in the past and future, will eventually become part of the recorded history of this area. The Conservancy forms part of this history, and therefore wants to make a positive contribution towards this heritage.
