National Biodiversity Economy Strategy

NBES provides the opportunity to redistribute South Africa’s indigenous biological/ genetic resources in an equitable manner, across various income categories and settlement areas of the country. Development and growth of the biodiversity economy focuses on markets and activities which address national socio-economic imperatives, especially in the rural areas. Working collaboratively and cooperatively, NBES provides the opportunity to develop the rural economy of the country and address environmental and rural development imperatives of government.
