The Nsasani Trust in partnership with OTS and SANParks constitutes the Skukuza Science Leadership Initiative (SSLI). The SSLI delivers a service in support of the Human Capital Development Strategy for the Environmental Sector (DEA) and more specifically, the Biodiversity Sector (Green Matter and the Lewis Foundation). The SSLI captures an opportunity to use one of South Africa’s greatest natural assets, the KNP, as a classroom allowing for experiential learning that links biodiversity management, higher education institutions and local communities.
