These initiatives were conducted in partnership with the provincial conservation agency (CapeNature) and several environmental non-governmental organisations, including WWF-SA, Conservation South Africa, Flower Valley Conservation Trust and the Botanical Society of South Africa, with funding from the Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund (CEPF) and the GEF. The projects aimed to encourage best agricultural practice for wine, potatoes, rooibos and indigenous flowers. Although initial uptake was encouraging, follow-up assessments have shown that best practice management is not necessarily maintained.
