All funds generated from conservation fees are used with the primary mandate of SANParks which is to oversee the conservation of South Africa's biodiversity, landscapes, seascapes and associated heritage assets through a system of National Parks. Conservation fees are discounted for citizens of South Africa in view of the financially disadvantaged status of the majority of people and the contribution by taxpayers to government funds.
