The Greater Kromme Stewardship (GKS) initiative was established in 2015 by a group of renewable energy developers (Wind Energy Collective) along with the Kromme-Enviro Trust (civil society), and is implemented by Conservation Outcomes. The GKS project area is located in the greater Kromme-Kouga-KouKamma region of the Eastern Cape, South Africa. The primary objectives of the GKS initiative are to secure critical biodiversity on private and communal land by establishing formal conservation and protected areas through the Biodiversity Stewardship mechanism, as well as to provide professional support to a range of landowners in order to ensure the effective management and conservation of important biodiversity and ecosystems. The GKS initiative also aims to improve the protection and management of under-protected state land to safeguard important biodiversity and ecosystem services in the project footprint.
