GAME MEAT STRATEGY GAZETTED

The Department of Forestry, Fisheries & the Environment has published a national strategy for game meat. This is with the intention of facilitating collaboration between all stakeholders in their efforts to ensure that game meat products:

  • are ‘naturally, sustainably and ethically’ produced with minimal impact on the environment and biodiversity
  • ‘contribute to conservation and rural livelihoods’, and
  • are of high quality, safe, traceable and comply with all relevant regulatory frameworks.

Released in draft form in July 2022 for public comment, the strategy is underpinned by the 2023 White Paper on conservation and the sustainable use of South Africa’s rich biodiversity.
