This masters’ dissertation focuses on what nature conservation guidelines should be used in the Dwesa-Cwebe Nature Reserve to promote inclusivity and not negatively affect relationships between Dwesa Cwebe communities and existing multi-species. The researcher also investigates the meanings local villagers attach to nature and interrogates community folklore and how it relates to nature and considers the implications for rethinking the practise of nature conservation.
