Establish one reserve among the core (founding) Lubombo Conservancy members where animals can freely roam between the reserves without any hindrances from fences that separate the different conservation areas. Create a mosaic of protected areas in the Swaziland Lubombo Plateau and Escarpment capitalizing on the opportunities presented in the new Swaziland National Trust Commission legislation for more participatory types of protected areas, such as protected landscapes and resource management areas. Identify and develop ecotourism and other sustainable development opportunities for local communities in the conservancy area. And establish a landscape approach through participatory integrated planning for the ecosystem management of the conservancy area.

Strategic Direction: 1 Strengthen protection and management in undercapacitated and emerging protected areas in 3 priority key biodiversity areas
