As the TFCA spans the most important water catchment area for the people of Lesotho and South Africa, Peace Parks Foundation, in conjunction with a group of interested parties, in 2010 developed a vision and objective for a Payment for Ecosystem Services programme in the Upper Thukela catchment area.
The South African government subsequently invested R20 million to further develop the programme.
