bullet African Projects: Benguela Current Large Marine Ecosystem | Agulhas Biodiversity Initiative

These two slideshows provide an overview of the beauty and splendour lying within two projects.
The Benguela Current Large Marine Ecosystem and the Agulhas Biodiversity Initiative.


  • The BCLME Programme is designed to improve the structures and capacities of Namibia, Angola and South Africa to deal with the environmental problems that occur across the national boundaries, in order that the Benguela Current Large Marine Ecosystem may be managed as a whole.

  • Agulhas Biodiversity Initiative: One of the main components of ABI focuses on development and implementation of models for sustainable harvesting of wild fynbos flowers, using the magnificent Flower Valley Farm as a pilot area for implementation. The objective is to convince landowners, private businesses and local communities that biodiversity, if managed and harvested sustainably, will provide significantly better economic benefits in the long-run, compared with alternative agricultural land-uses.Flower Valley is a botanical treasure at the heart of the Cape Floral Kingdom, the world's smallest but most diverse floral kingdom. The Flower Valley Conservation Trust was set up in April 1999 to influence bio-diversity conservation and community empowerment in the Cape Floral Kingdom, by promoting ways in which wild fynbos resources can be sustainably utilised.
