Heritage

Heritage is passed on from one generation to the next. Understanding our cultural heritage can give a sense of personal identity. Our natural heritage brings spiritual, recreational and economic benefits. Our cultural and natural heritage are invaluable sources of life and inspiration. Heritage is increasingly recognised as being a critical component of the overall environment that must be used wisely. EcoAfrica focuses on all aspects of natural and cultural heritage management, the documentation of Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IKS) and the revitalisation of local cultures. Successful World Heritage Site nominations is part of our growing portfolio. 

Our work includes;

• Policy development from the local to international level
• Strategic and business plans
• Assessments and feasibility studies on both cultural and natural heritage
• Preparation of nomination dossiers for prospective World Heritage Sites
• Conservation management plans 
• Establishment and support to management authorities
• Heritage Impact Assessments(HIA)
• Visual Impact Assessment (VIA)
• Planning and implementing sustainable heritage tourism
• Design and implementation of heritage interpretation facilities
   

Heritage is our legacy from the past, what we live with today, and what we pass on to future generations.
