In recent years, the WWF-Mondi WSP has broadened its focus convening stakeholders on a catchment basis to collectively better manage water resources, through an innovative social learning approach.This is critical, as isolated good practice by a single player cannot address the complex challenges that face water resource management in these catchments. Our partnership with WWF brings key stakeholders together who have a shared interest in maintaining freshwater ecosystems and services at the landscape level � including farmers, local government and corporate land users (forestry and industry). Applying social learning helps to engage key water users and stakeholders more effectively, and to ensure effective adaptive management in the rollout of these catchment partnerships.Its work has expanded beyond the original boundaries of wetlands restoration within Mondi�s own plantations to provide a wide, cross-functional, landscape-level focus that is establishing links between our pulp and paper mills, our forestry operations and sourcing areas, and the water-catchments in which they are located. In the uMhlathuze and upper uMngeni catchments and the Southern Drakensberg Water Source Area, our work is successfully engaging other sectors such as forestry companies, citrus and sugar cane growers and the dairy sector.Our approach has helped catalyse multi-stakeholder participation in the landscape approach to freshwater stewardship, for example in the uMhlathuze River catchment in our South African operations. By involving key organisations and stakeholders who share an interest in a catchment, the approach aims to develop and implement shared solutions and actions to secure water-related ecosystem services at scale.
