ESWATINI NATIONAL TRUST COMMISSION
Conserving Eswatini's Natural and Cultural Heritage
Our logo is adapted from a painting by Phillip Dlamini, 1998, of a purple crested turaco. In traditional Swazi dress, the red feathers feature in the royal headdress, so this bird illustration is not only a symbol for wildlife conservation, but also of cultural heritage.
The Wildlife/Parks Department is responsible for the conservation of Swaziland's natural heritage. The is department is responsible for conserving the country's natural ecosystems, its plant and animal life, and promoting the wise utilisation of these resources. Its objectives are:
In order to achieve these objectives, there are four sections under this department, namely Parks/Biodiversity Management, Environmental Education, Community Outreach and Ecology/Research.
The programmes operated by this department, although focussed mainly on existing protected areas, also extend to elsewhere in the country as the SNTC has the responsibility for the protection of Swaziland's biodiversity.
The Museum, National Monuments and Archaeology Departments are responsible for the protection of Eswatini's cultural heritage. The activities carried out by the ENTC with regard to the country's cultural heritage include the operation of the National Museum, as well as National Monuments, which include the King Sobuza II Memorial Park. Archaeology also falls under the Eswatini National Trust Commission; the Archaeology Department, in the past, has been responsible for excavations at various locations in the country.
