About Table Mountain Rights
Hoerikwaggo / Table Mountain holds a special place not only in the hearts of nearly all Capetonians, but most South Africans and international visitors who experience this magical place. This shared reverence for the mountain presents an unique opportunity to unite a broad and diverse cross-section of society around a common purpose. The initiative aims to promote a collective sense of responsibility and to draw support from those with a deep connection to it - such as ecologists, environmentalists, hikers, climbers, spiritual groups and leaders, healers, Indigenous communities and youth, amongst others.
Although most of this area is a national park, it is unfenced and increasingly difficult to meaningfully protect by existing conventional systems. This movement seeks to protect this ecological community by embedding ecological ethics within local communities and reviving principles of Harmonious Coexistence within Nature that are consistent with African cosmologies and Earth Jurisprudence.
