Sustainably restoring grasslands in South Africa

The grasslands on the lower slopes of the Drakensberg escarpment are key to South Africa’s water resources. Yet overgrazing is degrading the land.

In this video, we meet the two women – Director Lipalesa Sissie Matela and Manager Nicky McLeod – who run the Environmental and Rural Solutions (ERS) organisation, which promotes measures to restore the ecosystem and help local people prosper.

ERS offers environmental and tourism planning services in the northern part of the Eastern Cape, Southern KZN and Lesotho.
