SANParks Field Assistants: Biodiversity Social Projects
The above position is a fixed-term contract up to the end of March 2027, renewable upon mutual agreement. The salary is on a B4 band, with a monthly salary of R 11,823.25 plus a R 2,426.12 housing allowance, as the incumbent will need to provide their own accommodation outside the park.
South Africa’s national parks conserve the country’s rich diversity of flora and fauna through a system of 21 national parks, including three world heritage sites and ten marine protected areas, as per the National Environmental Management: Protected Areas Act No. 57 of 2003. This encompasses approximately 70% of state-owned terrestrial protected areas and 22% of state-managed marine protected areas, covering over four million hectares (ha) on land and almost 370,000 ha at sea. Additionally, five parks are integral components of transfrontier conservation areas with Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, and Lesotho.
A key intrinsic value of national parks and marine protected areas, as public goods, is their promotion of shared natural and cultural heritages and their contribution to building national solidarity and pride. Primarily located in rural areas, they act as catalysts for economic growth, creating employment and transformation in regions that typically lack such opportunities. They also play a crucial role in preserving water resources, protecting the archaeological and historical record, and safeguarding endangered ways of life.
