The Landmark Foundation will tackle projects in various areas of the Southern African region. The projects will aim to deliver on the mission of the Foundation. The focus of the work will range from protected area expansion and consolidation, to addressing climate change and desertification, to social and economic upliftment of people through building the conservation economy, to any action leading to conservation-friendly and compatible land-uses, to species conservation. Conservation will be seen in its broadest context to include the living and cultural landscape.

The organisation has been in operation 2004 and has already demonstrated significant delivery on its mandate. It has developed a high profile and achieved significant successes in the projects developed or undertaken. In this period more than 200 000 hectares has been added to conservation land-use, about R 40 million has been sourced for investment in conservation, and new employment opportunities have been created. The organisation remains focused on delivery!

In particular the following projects are still in operation: More details can be obtained from the individual pages of these projects.

Historically the Landmark Foundation have been involved in the following projects that are no longer active.

1. Wild Coast review - The Landmark Foundation has won a tender to conduct the review of the Eastern Cape Government’s, UNDP and DBSA project outputs of the Wild Coast Sustainable Development and Capacity Building Project conducted in 2004 – 2006. Specifically it will involve the review of the following outputs of this project: Review of Wild Coast Project’s Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan; Review of Wild Coast Project’s Spatial Development Framework; Review of Wild Coast Project’s Strategic Environmental Assessment; Review of whether the Wild Coast Project stakeholders’ inputs have been adequately addressed in the planning process; Review of the EU’s Wild Coast Tourism Initiative outputs. The provincial government failed to activate this project.  The Landmark Foundation remains convinced that the Wild Coast Project outputs, and actions leading from it, could be catalytic in getting significant socio-economic development opportunities in some of the poorest municipalities in the country. In a region where the project was to be focused there are three sectors of development: tourism, forestry and the agricultural sectors, which are all poorly developed. This project was to focus on opportunities of unleashing local economic development in a socially, politically, economically and environmentally sustainable fashion. The Landmark Foundation believes that the ecological, scenic and cultural-historic assets of the region constitutes the greatest resources of the region, and as such, through conservation based land-uses, it provides the best opportunities for development. The review process was to focus on producing the action plans required by the implementers as it emanates from the selected outputs of the Wild Coast Project and EU initiatives.

2. Local economic development review - The Landmark Foundation has increasing moved its focus to projects related to local economic development, involving conservation-worthy economic enterprises. It's director was in a team of experts conducting a mid-term review of the Kwazulu Natal Gijima Local Economic Development Support Programme of the European Union. The Landmark Foundation has increasingly become a market leader in this sector, as it relates to conservation land uses.  Although the Gijima project is complete, it remains active in this sphere.

3. Baartman Biko Project - The Landmark Foundation had been integrally involved in the development of the Institute and the re-aforestation efforts linked with this important project. The project seeks to plant back large tracks of indigenous forests, starting in the Garden Route, and through the emerging carbon trade to facilitate mitigation to climate change. Climate change is the greatest threat our generation will deal with. The Landmark Foundation believes the best and most sustainable way we can deal with this threat is through the restoration of Africa’s Carbon lung – its forests -, which has been decimated by colonial  and commercial activities in Africa for the last 500 years. In addition the project presented the most sustainable and equitable manner to provide opportunities for local economic development. In a way that colonialism created a carbon export economy by destroying our forests, this project seeked to create a carbon import economy, through carbon trading, that would bring resources and enterprises to communities previously excluded from natural resources, and in so doing, restoring our magnificent indigenous forests. The Landmark Foundation was a strategic partner of the Baartman-Biko Institute, but has been shut down due to the lack of interest in sequestration carbon trading partners.

4. Calitzdorp Klein Karoo - The Landmark Foundation is actively sourcing conservation investments to bring more land into conservation areas, reserves and National Parks. The Foundation helped to bring almost 9 000 hectares into conservation in the Gouritz Biodiversity Initiative. This is in a priority region for conservation and helped achieve major conservation objectives in the region. Similar initiatives continue near the Baviaanskloof, the Tsitsikamma, Addo National Park.

5. Health and Environment - Isipho HIV/Aids Project is a social responsibility project. The Landmark Foundation had assisted in establishing this project in 2004 -2006. This HIV/AIDS community-based project is caring for children affected and infected with HIV. Permaculture gardening techniques are used to provide sustainable nutrition for this impoverished community project. Financial support was sourced for this project and the establishment of a centre of care and education for orphaned children.
