GreenMatter is a national network of partner organisations that implement the 20-year Biodiversity Human Capital Development Strategy (BHCDS), co-led by the South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI) and the Lewis Foundation.
GreenMatter’s strategic vision is to create conditions and facilitate opportunities for transformation and the development of suitably skilled biodiversity specialists, researchers and leaders to optimally implement South Africa’s dynamic, expanding and increasingly complex biodiversity policies and strategies.
This 20-year vision is being pursued through four mutually reinforcing strategic goals supported by eight objectives, and approximately 40 projects, primarily targeting the tertiary and workplace segments of the Human Capital Development (HCD) pipeline. The intent is to impact positively on the quality and relevance of graduate, postgraduate and professional skills.
