2019 SEED South Africa Award Biodiversity Nelspruit, South Africa

Ikusasa Environmental Services works towards using a steam distillation unit. Removed plant material are used to make essential oils which increase revenue. They begin by taking an inventory of all invasive alien plants, establish a management plan which qualified personnel will use to remove the plants.

Ikusasa Environmental Services offer land owners the full package of mapping, identifying and removing invasive vegetation on their properties.

  • Creating jobs and community uplifting together with land owners and locals in the community.
  • Providing education on invasive alien species identification and the impact they have on human beings and the environment.
