Building one of Africa’s most important community conservancies around Hluhluwe–iMfolozi Park – the birthplace of modern rhino conservation.
The Hluhluwe Imfolozi Conservancy project is part of a global campaign movement called the National Parks Campaign.
The Hluhluwe Imfolozi Community Conservancy (HICC) is a bold vision to unite people, wildlife, and land into a single thriving ecosystem.
Bordering one of Africa’s oldest and most iconic protected areas, HICC is creating a new model for conservation – where communities are not on the edge of nature, but at the heart of it.
This landscape is globally significant. It is where the southern white rhino was brought back from the brink of extinction.
But today, the pressures are real:
growing populations
INCREASING PRESSURE ON NATURAL RESOURCES
LIMITED ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY
HICC exists to turn these challenges into opportunity.
Thousands of hectares under community stewardship
Multiple communities engaged across the landscape
Jobs created in conservation and tourism
Critical wildlife habitats protected
