Living Limpopo

Living Limpopo campaigns to raise public awareness of the industrial-scale threat posed by the MMSEZ and the devastating impact that strip-mining and coal-fuelled industrialisation will have on our sensitive environment, our water resources, on other sectors of the economy and their growth potential. We are actively challenging authorisation for the SEZ and coal mines, while we seek to engage constructively with government on policy debate. We believe that a threat on this scale is also an opportunity. Opposition by those who want a different future for Vhembe has mobilised on an unprecedented scale, and are using the momentum to promote the Great Vhembe Conservation Area - a landscape-scale protected areas expansion and restoration programme that can provide the stimulus for a thriving biodiversity economy in the Vhembe mega-living landscape. We act as a lightning rod to attract support and resources to unleash the wild growth potential of the untamed heart of Limpopo.
