13 GOVERNMENT S 9 POINT PLAN TO GROW Revitalising agriculture and the agro-processing value chain THE ECONOMY Adding value to our mineral wealth (advancing beneficiation and support to the engineering and metals value chain) More effective implementation of a higher impact Industrial Policy Action Plan Unlocking the potential of small, medium and micro enterprises, cooperatives and township enterprises Operation Phakisa (Oceans Economy, Mining, Health, Tourism, Basic Education, etc) Encouraging private sector investment Resolving the energy challenge Moderating workplace conflict State reform and boosting the role of state-owned companies, information and communications technology infrastructure or broadband roll-out, water, sanitation and transport infrastructure National Biodiversity Economy Strategy (LAB)
14 WILDLIFE SECTOR, GROWING CONSISTENTLY FASTER THAN THE GENERAL ECONOMY, CONTRIBUTING R 3 BILLION TO GDP IN 2014 Wildlife GDP contribution Wildlife Sector Growth p.a. 9.2% 13.5% 9.9% 9.3% 4.5% 9.3% General GDP Growth p.a % 3.04% 3.21% 2.22% 2.21% 1.52% SOURCE: National Biodiversity Economy Strategy & Stats SA
15 LAB VISION: WILDLIFE - ESTABLISH AN ECONOMY THAT CONTRIBUTES TO THE WELL-BEING OF ALL SOUTH AFRICANS Aspiration Objectives An inclusive, sustainable and responsive wildlife economy that grows at 10% p.a until at least 2030, while providing a foundation for social wellbeing and maintaining the ecological resource base 1 Average yearly sector GDP increase of ~10% Create 100,000 new jobs 2 Transformation 30% of wildlife businesses PDI owned PDI ownership of >5 million Ha, and access to another >5 million Ha 4,000 PDI owned SMMEs supported to engage in the wildlife economy Sustainability 3 5 million ha of non-protected areas contributing towards conservation target (AICHI) 3.5% animal population net growth p.a.
16 SHORT TO MID-TERM TARGETS FOR 4 OF 15 LAB INITIATIVES Initiative: Year Target 1 Identify and prioritize 10m Ha for transformation of wildlife economy m ha land mapped and prioritised 2 Establish, develop and support new wildlife ranching entrants through infrastructure support and game donation programmes projects completed 7 Formalize SA game meat market and create a network of game meat processing facilities ,500 jobs created 18,5K tons of game meat 5 Operationalise 11 biodiversity economy nodes (BENs) BENs established
17 LAB: CHALLENGES PREVENTING GROWTH AND TRANSFORMATION OF THE WILDLIFE ECONOMY HAPPEN AT FULL POTENTIAL I Barriers to transformation II Risk of future growth stagnation III Unsupportive enabling environment Insufficient access, ownership and inefficient utilization of land Lack of infrastructure development support for entrepreneurs Lack of access to startup game Lack of organized governance amongst community and emerging entrepreneurs Lack of technical skills, oversight, business support and effective business and partnership models Lack of access to finance and incentives for transformation Insufficient government endorsement for hunting as a tourism activity Untapped black consumer potential Insufficient societal value given to wildlife resources and understanding of the sustainable use concept Insufficient awareness and capitalisation of the value of mixed wildlife/livestock interfaces Insufficient mechanism addressing and containing risks and threats to the ecological resource base in further growing the biodiversity economy Insufficient interdepartmental coordination and understanding of the benefits of the bio-economy Insufficient knowledgebase (research and access) Gaps in industry standards (and compliance) Excessive and inefficient permitting Unsupportive legislative regime Misalignment of SPLUMA and PDALFB (Land use) NEMBA lacking in enabling provisions Misalignment of provincial and/or national hunting legislation Lack of sufficient collaboration platform for the industry Lack of capacity (human and financial) to effectively manage and harness the potential of wildlife resources Lack of a formal game meat industry
18 CHALLENGES: PRODUCTION SYSTEMS & LANDUSE CLASSES Intensive Semi-Extensive Extensive / PA? Return on Investment 11% 3% 8% / <1% Risks to biodiversity and wildlife economy Landuse Classes Habitat loss & fragmentation Loss of genetic integrity / adaptability Reputational damage and business risk Loss in threatened species & predators Some impact on ecological integrity Some predator removal Business viability risk climate change? Competing as a landuse with mining? Generally compatible with low risks to biodiversity and wildlife economy Limited areas available Misalignment between classes in the PDALFB and SPLUMA, specifically classes 1-8 of the PDALFB Conflict between essential biodiversity areas for the Wildlife Economy and high potential agricultural land
