Note: The biodiversity offset agreement for Vele Colliery is aimed at strengthening co-operation between the three parties towards the conservation and sustainable development of the Mapungubwe Cultural Landscape World Heritage Site.

The agreement will promote the development of Mapungubwe so that it benefits the surrounding environment, the local communities and economy.
