The Dargle Conservancy is working to change the status of over 5,000 hectares of land in the Midlands of KwaZulu-Natal from a basic level of protection, a "conservancy," to a more robust and long-lasting level of protection, land falling under a formal biodiversity stewardship agreement. Dargle is working with landowners, conservancy managers, and Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife in five areas centered around the town of Howick: Dagle, Karkloof, Karkloof/Gartmore, Fort Nottingham, and uMgenyane.

Strategic Direction: 2 Expand conservation areas and improve land use in 19 key biodiversity areas through innovative approaches
