New TMF-Funded Projects Announced

In early 2024, in order to meet the Fund’s Conservation objectives, we put out a call for concept proposals that aligned with at least one of the Fund’s four Programmes – Fynbos Forever, Care, Prosperity and Pride. The projects had to be based within the Cape Floristic Region, aligned to the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, and address high priority conservation needs. The response was overwhelmingly positive and after a thorough consultation process, we are excited to announce the nine projects selected as the newest recipients of TMF funding:

1. SANParks and Wilderness Foundation Africa: Facilitating living landscape conservation within the fynbos biome
2. The Character Company: TCC Legacy project
3. Grootvadersbosch Conservancy Trust: Rivers of tomorrow- Youth-led State of the River reporting
4. Greater Overberg Fire Protection Association: Fire risk reduction in Walker Bay and Sondagskloof
5. Rooiberg Breede River Conservancy: Improved Environmental Management of the Rooiberg Breede River Conservancy
6. Nature Connect: Conservation Leadership Programme
7. Brave Rock Girl: Daring Disas Part 2
8. UCT:Conservation genetics of the Clanwilliam cedar, Widdringtonia cedarbergensis (wallichii)
9. Cape Leopard Trust: Leopards leading landscape connectivity: Linking leopards, landscapes and landowners
