The Gauteng Department of Agriculture and Rural Development is inviting proposals from qualified professional service providers to implement a Natural Resources Management Programme at the Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site. This programme aims to enhance the sustainable management of natural resources, ensuring the preservation of biodiversity and cultural heritage within this globally significant area. The successful bidder will be responsible for developing strategies that address environmental challenges, promote conservation, and engage local communities in sustainable practices.

Key requirements include a demonstrated track record in natural resource management, experience in heritage site conservation, and the ability to collaborate with various stakeholders, including governmental bodies, NGOs, and local communities. The project is expected to run from the date of appointment until the completion of the programme, with a focus on measurable outcomes and long-term sustainability. Interested parties should prepare to submit detailed proposals that outline their approach, methodologies, and expected impacts on the heritage site’s ecological and cultural integrity.
