The Wildlife and Environment Society of SA (WESSA) implements sustainable tourism, education and youth development programmes throughout South Africa, and activates a wide range of local environmental initiatives.
WESSA’s work includes improving the school curriculum through education for sustainable development, and providing critical work skills training to create job opportunities and sustainable livelihoods in local communities. The organisation’s environmental initiatives contribute towards the restoration of local ecosystems, while their ecolabels support tourism growth and development by encouraging responsible tourism practices.
