The South African National Parks board is set to evaluate a proposal for structural changes that would allow direct borrowing from capital markets and enhance earnings retention during a meeting from January 26 to 28. If approved, the plan would require consent from the environment department and National Treasury, aiming to address the growing demand for financial instruments related to biodiversity. Despite reporting record revenues of R4.1 billion last year, Sanparks is mandated to return surplus funds to the government and is exploring additional funding options like carbon credits and donor contributions for land protection.
