WESSA is an integral part of the international environmental community: In addition to being the appointed operator in South Africa for five FEE (Foundation for Environmental Education) programmes, we are a founder member of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and, as a UNESCO partner, we are supporting education for sustainable development across the southern African region. We are a membership-supported organisation and activate a wide range of local conservation initiatives for the environment through our membership network of branches or friends groups. It is due to the efforts and strong leadership within our membership that we have been a motivating force behind many of South Africa's most significant environmental actions, and we continue to work to promote effective environmental governance through participating in the development of legislation and supporting compliance.
