Abstract
The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa promotes participatory, cooperative
governance and environmental conservation. This constitutional directive is enhanced into the
National Environmental Management Act and other conservation laws. These legal
requirements for active community participation in natural resources management, including
benefit sharing are sufficiently captured in the SANParks’ policy and strategy for the
management of national parks.
