The Nature and Biodiversity Division’s main objective is to promote and support conservation of indigenous flora and fauna. The Division issues guidelines and prescribes measures for the conservation and sustainable utilization of biological diversity, both in-situ and ex-situ. Working together with Local Communities, the Division identifies areas of biodiversity significance and establishes and co-manages such areas as Protected Areas. The Division has administrative staff based in Maseru (Lesotho National Parks) and Butha Buthe (Lesotho Northern Parks) and parks’ management staff based at the respective protected areas (Sehlabathebe, Tsehlanyane, Bokong and Liphofung).
