Assess the feasibility of applying the Green Futures model on the Cape Flats in a way that restores two priority sites in the City of Cape Town’s Biodiversity Network – the Edith Stephens Wetland Park and Harmony Flats Nature Reserve – to full ecological integrity, supported by off-site urban ecological corridor linkages, by developing the capacity and entrepreneurship of unemployed urban people in indigenous horticulture and landscaping.

Strategic Direction: 2 Promote innovative private sector and community involvement in conservation in landscapes surrounding  biodiversity corridors
