The Designated Management Agency compromises a Management Board, which is the management authority responsible for governing the Magaliesberg Biosphere. In line with best practice, a non-profit company (NPC), named the “Magaliesberg Biosphere” (Association incorporated under Section 21), has been registered in terms of the Companies Act.
The company’s board has the responsibility to fulfill the designated functions of a Biosphere reserve – contribute to the conservation of the landscape, ecosystems, species and genetic variation; foster development which is socio-culturally and ecologically sustainable; provide logistical support for research, monitoring, education and information exchange.
