Conservation Kids: Growing a Greener Future
In the North West province, Conservation Kids is inspiring a new generation of young environmental stewards. Led by Kefilwe Maduenyane with guidance from Jacky Baloyi, the initiative works with children in communities surrounding Pilanesberg and Kgaswane Nature Reserves, helping them discover the value of conservation and care for the land.

Planting Seeds of Awareness
Each year, more learners join the programme through school-based clubs that celebrate key environmental days such as World Environment Day and National Arbor Week. Activities are creative and hands-on, making lessons about the environment both fun and meaningful.
The Spekboom Project
Through this signature initiative, every child plants and cares for a spekboom at home or at school. New members receive cuttings from older participants, symbolising the sharing of care, knowledge, and hope between generations.
Growing a Greener Future
Conservation Kids continues to expand through collaboration with individuals and organizations who share a vision for sustainable living and environmental awareness. Together, these efforts nurture pride, responsibility, and a lifelong connection to nature.
