SADC Transfrontier Conservation Areas (TFCAs)

There are 12 TFCAs in the Southern African Development Community (SADC) in both terrestrial and marine environments at various stages of development. Their configuration varies from those that are Transfrontier Parks (TP) that include two or more adjacent and protected areas like Kalagadi Transfrontier Park, to those that include a complexity of land-uses such as communal land, concession areas and protected areas like Kavango-Zambezi TFCA.
SADC TFCAs are home to impressive natural and cultural attractions such as Kruger and Chobe National Parks, the Fish River Canyon, the Okavango Delta, the Victoria Falls, and the Lubombo and Maloti-Drakensberg Mountain Ranges. There is also a strong geographical overlap between SADC TFCAs and inscribed World Heritage Sites.
