The Wilderness Foundation recognises the essential role played by mining and other important developments of natural resources. We also insist that such activities be done in the right place, and in an environmentally and a culturally sustainable manner. The Wilderness Foundation stands with our sister organization the WILD Foundation (USA) and other prominent NGOs in the Sustaining the Wild Coast (SWC) initiative, and with local communities in the affected area, to ask that the South Africa government not allow mining in this area.

The WF believes in the power of the wilderness to dissolve ethnic and economic inequalities and forge one path toward social and environmental sustainability.
