Tembe Elephant Park Management Plan 2018

This Protected Area Management Plan for Tembe Elephant Park is its primary and overarching management document. It forms the framework within which the TEP will be managed and developed towards the achievement of its management objectives, derived in collaboration with the protected area’s stakeholders during November 2013 to June 2014.

The protected area management planning process has been designed to meet the statutory requirements of the National Environmental Management: Protected Areas Act and other relevant legislation. The protected area management planning process requires participation from the protected area’s stakeholders, the general public and specialists during the various stages of plan development and implementation. Although the management plan and its sub-components are planning documents, an annual review process will ensure an active adaptive management planning approach. A long-term business approach has also been introduced that ensures that the protected area’s management objectives are operationalised and reflected through an Annual Plan of Operation. A Financial Plan will, at the same time, actively pursue additional and improved funding and income towards the achievement of the natural and cultural heritage conservation objectives of the TEP over the next five years and into the future.
