The Cederberg Indigenous Peoples Association (CIPA) is dedicated to engaging in community-led conservation efforts that ensure indigenous peoples maintain their rightful use, access, management, and benefit-sharing rights over local natural resources. For generations, our communities have sustainably stewarded, cultivated, and protected wild species like Rooibos, which are vital to both our cultural heritage and economic resilience. By fostering sustainable environmental stewardship and building wildlife economies centered on our resource rights, we act as a catalyst for positive change—protecting our environment while securing long-term economic benefits for our people.
