The Biodiversity and Conservation Programme, initiated on 6 April 2003, aims to protect and promote the biological diversity of South Africa, ensuring sustainable resource utilization. Key activities include developing tourism infrastructure in Kruger National Park, implementing protected areas and biodiversity bills, expanding and consolidating protected areas like Pondoland and Blyde Conservation Areas, and merging Golden Gate and Qwa-qwa National Parks. The programme also focuses on acquiring lands, establishing Transfrontier Conservation Parks, and managing personnel expenses, administrative costs, inventories, equipment, and transfer payments.
