“You cannot carry out fundamental change without a certain amount of madness. In this case, it comes from nonconformity, the courage to turn your back on the old formulas, the courage to invent the future. It took the madmen of yesterday for us to be able to act with extreme clarity today. I want to be one of those madmen. We must dare to invent the future.” ~Thomas Sankara

#RebelForLife The web of life is worth defending. Shout out for the creatures whose habitats get desecrated. Don't let life on earth be quietly eviscerated By rampant human greed While so many lack basic needs. Got to make serious change Before any chance disappears from range.

The plastic tap must be turned off. The ecobrick is a really great way to avoid sending plastic that can't be recycled to a landfill.

Growing plants is fundamental to our survival as a species. We believe that the rebellion must really look at alternatives to the mechanized mono crop agriculture which is so dependent on oil and pharmaceuticals.

The elections are almost upon us. The party political debate revealed some frightening things about certain parties for us at @XRMzanzi #RebelForLife love not fear. Peace be with you rebels!

Captain Paul Watson *A founding member of Greenpeace and a captain of the Rainbow Warrior August 6, 2017 · The Laws of Ecology and the Survival of the Human Species By Captain Paul Watson I was raised in a small fishing village on the Passamaquoddy Bay in New Brunswick, Canada and I still vividly remember the way things were in the Fifties. The way things were then is not the way things are now. I’m not talking about technological, industrial or scientific progress. I’m referring to the health and stability of eco-systems. What was once strong is now weak. What was once rich in diversity is now very much the poorer. I have been blessed or perhaps cursed with the gift of near total recall. I see the images of the past as clearly as the days that were. As a result it has been difficult for me to adapt to diminishment. I see the shells on the beaches that are no longer there, the little crabs under the rocks, now gone, the schools of fishes, the pods of dolphins, the beaches free of plastic. I began travelling the world in 1967 - hitch-hiking and riding the rails across Canada; joining the Norwegian merchant marine; crossing the Pacific and Indian Oceans; travelling through Japan, Iran, Mozambique and South Africa, working as a tour guide in Turkey and Syria, co-founding the Greenpeace Foundation in 1972 and in 1977; founding the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. Many things that I saw then, no longer exist - or have been severely damaged, changed and diminished. In the Sixties we did not buy water in plastic bottles. In the Sixties the word sustainable was never used in an ecological context, and except for Rachel Carson there were very few with the vision to see into the future, where we were going, what we were doing. But slowly, awareness crept into the psyche of more and more people. People began to understand what the word ecology meant. We saw the creation of Earth Day, and in 1972, the first global meeting on the environment in Stockholm, Sweden that I covered as a journalist. Gradually, the insight into what we are doing became more prevalent and to those who understood, the price to be paid was to be labeled as radicals, militants, and a new word – eco-terrorists. The real ‘crime’ of eco-terrorism was not burning down a ski lodge, toppling a power line or spiking a tree. Such things are only outbursts of desperation and frustration. The real crime is thought, perception, and imagination. In other words, the questioning of the modern economic, corporate and political paradigm. The word eco-terrorism should be more accurately used for the destruction caused by progress like the Union Carbide disaster in Bhopal or the BP Deep Water Horizon spill in the Gulf of Mexico In the Seventies the late Robert Hunter along with Roberta Hunter, Dr. Patrick Moore, David Garrick, Rod Marining and myself observed and wrote down the three laws of ecology. What we realized was that these laws are the key to the survival of biodiversity on the planet and also the key to the survival of the human species. We realized that no species could survive outside of the three basic and imperative ecological laws. The law of diversity: The strength of an eco-system is dependent upon the diversity of species within it. The law of interdependence: All species are interdependent with each other. The law of finite resources: There are limits to growth and limits to carrying capacity. The increase of population in one species leads to the increase in consumption of resources by that species which leads to diminishment of diversity of other species which in turn leads to diminishment of interdependence among species. For example, increasing diminishment of phytoplankton populations in the sea is causing diminishment of many other species and it has caused a 40% diminishment in oxygen production since 1950. Diminishment of whale populations has contributed to the diminishment of phytoplankton populations because whale feces are a major source of nutrients (esp. iron and nitrogen) for phytoplankton. The planet simply cannot tolerate 7.5 billion (and growing) primarily meat and fish eating necrovores. The killing of 65 billion domestic animals each year is contributing more greenhouse gases to the planet than the entire transportation industry. The industrial stripping of life from the sea is causing unprecedented biodiversity collapse in marine eco-systems. Ecological systems globally are collapsing from coral reefs to rainforests because humanity is exploiting resources far beyond the capacity of eco-systems to create and renew natural resources. Diminishment of eco-systems is also leading to the breakdown of human social structures causing global conflict in the form of wars and domestic violence. Terrorism is not the cause of society’s problems, it is merely a symptom. Humans are compromised by medieval paradigms like territorial dominance, hierarchical desires and superstitious beliefs combined with primitive primate behavior like greed and fear. The fishing village that I lived in as a child is no longer a fishing village. The relative innocence of our lives as children of the Fifties and Sixties is no more. The African bush, the Arctic tundra, the marine reserve of the Galapagos Islands, the Great Barrier Reef, the Amazonian rainforests that I once traveled through are no longer what they recently were. Humans have this amazing ability to adapt to diminishment. It’s a trait that was exceptionally useful when we lived as hunter-gatherers. We adapted to food shortages, to changes in the weather and to the world as it evolved around us. Today we are trying to adapt to the destruction brought on by ourselves and that adaption is taking the form of more and more control by governments and corporations and a blind reliance on corporate technologies. We no longer have the empathy we once felt. I vividly remember the events of October 23rd, 1958. I was seven years old on the day of the Springhill Mine Disaster in Nova Scotia. 75 men died and 99 were rescued and I remember crying for the fate of people I did not know and feeling excited every time a miner was brought to the surface alive. I no longer have that capacity. Perhaps I lost it when I became an adult, or perhaps society no longer has room for such emotions. Disaster happened and we grieved for people we did not know. Last year ago nearly 100 people were viciously murdered within a few kilometres of where I lived when a deranged man mowed them down with a large truck in Nice, France. A few days later a priest was beheaded in France. Every week brings us more stories about mass killings in the Middle East, Africa, America etc. It’s a worldwide pain-fest of chaos and violence and yet it is met with complacency for the most part and a predictable Facebook posting of – ‘say a prayer for Paris, or Orlando, or Nice, or Beirut, or Istanbul’ in a litany of self-indulgent adaptation to tragedy, before being quickly forgotten. This is not the world of my childhood. We remembered the horrors of World War II with real emotion. I remember talking with both World War I and World War II veterans and feeling their pain. Today it’s just another short-term item on the news, in a world that seeks to escape through movies, celebrities, video games and increasingly more fanatical religious fervor. Here is the reality. As human populations increase, the consumption of resources increases with it. But because resources are finite and the rate of renewables is overcome by demand, this can only lead to one result – the collapse of resource availability. And because we are literally stealing resources from other species, this will lead to diminishment of species and habitats, which will contribute to even more resource diminishment. At COP 21, I called for an end to worldwide government subsidies for industrialized fishing and at least a 50-year moratorium on commercial industrialized fishing. That solution was not given a moment’s thought at a conference that did not even take into account the imperative role of the Ocean in addressing climate change. My opinion of COP 21 is that governments were not looking for solutions. They were looking for the appearance of solutions. They certainly did not want to hear about solutions from people like me. They want solutions that are accompanied by jobs and profit. The one thing they do not want is any form of economic sacrifice. I also do not believe that the majority of humanity - certainly not the leadership -understand the true gravity of the situation. There are six viewpoints concerning climate change: 1. Denial 2. Acceptance, with the view of it being a positive development. 3. Acceptance with the belief that science and technology will save the day. 4. Acceptance, but refusal to fully appreciate the consequences. 5. Apathy. And 6. Acceptance with the resolve to find real solutions. Those who are in denial have vested self interests in doing so, motivated primarily by greed or ignorance. My old Greenpeace colleague Patrick Moore sees climate change as an opportunity for longer growing seasons and better weather. (He lives in Canada and I don’t think he’s really thought it through.) Others like Elon Musk see our salvation in science, in moving off-world or developing artificial eco-systems on Earth. Most responsible world leaders recognize the problem but are too politically-impotent to address it with realistic solutions because those solutions would not be politically popular. And as with everything, the majority of the world is apathetic and too self-absorbed with entertaining themselves (developed world) or surviving (underdeveloped world). On this path we are on now, the future is somewhat predictable. More resource wars, more poverty, more accumulation of wealth by the minority of privileged people, more disease, more civil strife and with the collapse of biodiversity – global mass starvation, and pestilence. The rich tapestry of all our cultures and all our achievements in science and the arts hangs by threads linked to biodiversity. If the bees are diminished, our crops are diminished. If the forests are diminished, we are diminished. If phytoplankton dies, we die! If the grasses die, we die! We exist because of the geo-engineering contributions of millions of diverse species that keep our life support systems running. From bacteria to whales, from algae to the redwoods. If we undermine the foundations of this planetary life-support system, all that we have ever created will fall. We will be no more. We made the mistake of declaring war on nature, and because of our technologies it looks like we are going to win this war. But because we are a part of nature, we will destroy ourselves in the process. Our enemy is ourselves and we are slowly becoming aware of that indisputable fact. We are destroying ourselves in a fruitless effort to save the image of what we believe ourselves to be. In this war, we are slaughtering through direct or indirect exploitation - millions of species and reducing their numbers to dangerously low levels while at the same time increasing human numbers to dangerously high levels. We are fighting this war against nature with chemicals, industrialized equipment, ever increasing extraction technologies (like fracking) and repression against any and all voices that rise up in dissent. In our wake over the past two centuries we have left a trail of hundreds of billions of bodies. We have tortured, slain, abused and wasted so many lives, obliterated entire species; and reduced rich diverse eco-systems to lifeless wastelands as we polluted the seas, the air and the soil - with chemicals, heavy metals, plastic, radiation and industrialized farm sewage. We were once horrified by the possibility of a Chernobyl or a Fukushima. But the accidents happened and we adapted and accepted - now we are complacent. At this very moment, the media ignores, the politicians deny and the public does not seem to care of the horrifying consequences of Fukushima unfolding before our tightly closed eyes. Fukushima is the greatest ecological horror we have ever unleashed in our entire history of ecological crimes. And yet….it is as if it never happened. In the process we are becoming sociopathic as a species. We are losing the ability to express empathy and compassion. We idolize soldiers, hunters, and resource developers without giving a thought to their victims. We revel in violent fantasies hailing two- dimensional fantasy killers as heroes. We have become increasingly more Darwinian in our outlook that the weak (other species) must perish so that the strong (ourselves) may survive. We forget that Darwinism recognizes the laws of ecology and we cannot pick and choose when it comes to the laws of nature because in the end nature controls us, we do not control nature. The consequences of our actions are not going to happen centuries from now. They are going to happen within this century. Oceanic ecosystems are collapsing – now! The planet is getting warmer – now! Phytoplankton is being diminished now! To be blunt – the planet is dying now, and we are killing it! From what I have experienced and from what I see there is only one thing that can prevent us from falling victim to the consequences of ignoring the laws of ecology. We must shake off the anthropocentric mindset and embrace a biocentric understanding of the natural world. We can do this because we have wonderful teachers in indigenous communities worldwide who have lived biocentric lifestyles for thousands of years just as our species all once did. We need to learn to live in harmony with other species. We need to establish a moratorium on industrialized fishing, logging and farming. We need to stop producing goods that have no intrinsic value – all the useless plastic baubles for entertainment and self-indulgence. We need to stop mass-producing plastic that is choking our global seas. We need to stop injecting poisons into the soil and dumping toxins into the sea. We need to abolish cultural practices that destroy life for the sole purpose of entertaining ourselves. Of course it won't be easy but do we really want the epitaph for our species to be, “Well we needed the jobs?” Without ecology there is no economy. I am not a pessimist and I’ve never been prone to pessimistic thoughts. There are solutions, and we see people of compassion, imagination and courage around us working to make this a better world - devoting themselves to protecting species and habitats; finding organic agricultural alternatives; and developing more eco-friendly forms of energy production. Innovators, thinkers, activists, artists, leaders and educators - these people are amongst us and their numbers are growing. It is often said that the problems are overwhelming and the solutions are impossible. I don’t buy this. The solution to an impossible problem is to find an impossible solution. It can be done. In 1972, the very idea that Nelson Mandela would one day be President of South Africa was unthinkable and impossible - yet the impossible became possible. It’s never easy but it is possible and possibilities are achieved through courage, imagination, passion and love. I learned from the Mohawks years ago that we must live our lives by taking into account the consequences of our every action on all future generations of all species. If we love our children and grandchildren we must recognize that their world will not be our world. Their world will be greatly diminished and unrecognizable from the world of our childhoods. Each and every child born in the 21st Century is facing challenges that no human being has ever faced in the entire history of our species: Emerging pathogens from the permafrost, (Just last year an anthrax virus from a recently thawed reindeer carcass broke out killing 1,500 reindeer and hospitalizing 13 people in Russia.) Eruptions of methane opening huge craters in the earth in Siberia, mass-accelerated extinction of plants and animals, pollution, wars and more wars, irrational violence in the form of individual, religious and state terrorism, the collapse of entire eco-systems. This is not doom and gloom fear mongering. It is simply a realistic observation of the consequences of our deliberately ignoring of the laws of ecology. I call it the Cassandra Principle. Cassandra was the prophetess of ancient Troy whose curse was the ability to see the future and to have everyone dismiss her prophecies. No one listened to her, instead they ridiculed her. Yet she was right. All that she predicted came to pass and Troy was destroyed. Years ago I had a critic in the media label me as a doom and gloom Cassandra. I replied, “Maybe, but don’t forget that one thing. Cassandra was right.” And over the years I have made predictions (that were ridiculed and dismissed) that have come true. In 1982 I publicly predicted the collapse of the North Atlantic Cod fishery. It happened a decade later. In 1978 I predicted the destruction of one half of the African elephant population in Defenders magazine. I was wrong. Some two thirds of the population have been destroyed. In 1984, I predicted ecological destruction by salmon farms including the spreading of viruses to wild salmon populations. Every prediction was based on observation with reference to the laws of ecology and every prediction was dismissed and each prediction became reality. Nothing has changed. Today I am predicting the death of worldwide coral reef eco-systems by 2025, the total collapse of worldwide commercial fishing operations by 2030; and the emergence of more virulent viral diseases in the coming decades. It does not take any exceptional foresight to predict that war will be the major business of the next half- century, as well as the rise of more authoritarian governments. Recently my old friend Rod Marining also a co-founder of Greenpeace said to me: "The transformation of human consciousness on a mass scale can not happen, unless there are two factors, first, a huge mass visual death threat to survival of our species and two, the threat of the loss of a people’s jobs or their values. Once theses two factors are in place humans begin to transform their thinking over night." I have seen the future written in the patterns of our behavior, and it is not a pleasant future, in fact it is not much of a future at all. The four horses have arrived. As death sits astride the pale horse, the four horses of pestilence, famine, war and terrorism are stampeding at full gallop toward us while our backs are turned away from them. And when they trample us, we may look up from our latest entertainment triviality to see ourselves in the dust of the ecological apocalypse. I also see the possibility of salvation. By listening to the words and observing the actions of many indigenous people. By looking into the eyes of our children. By stepping outside the circle of anthropocentrism. By understanding that we are part of the Continuum. By refusing to participate in the anthropocentric illusion. By embracing biocentrism and fully understanding the laws of ecology, and the fact that these laws cannot - must not - be ignored if we wish to survive.

“....the line of ill-intentional Egyptologist, equipped with a ferocious erudition , have commited their well known crime against science, by becoming guilty of a deliberate falsification of the history of humanity. Supported by the governing powers of all the Western countries , this ideology, based on a moral and intellectual swindle, easily won out over the true scientific current developed by a parallel group of Egyptologist of good will, whose intellectual uprightness and even courage cannot be stressed stronly enough. The new Egyptological ideology , born at the opportune monment, reinforced the theorectical bases of imperialist ideology. That is why it easily drowned out the voice of science, by throwing the veil of fasificacation over historical truth. This ideology was spread with the help of considerable publicity and taught the world over, because it alone had the material and financial means for its own propagation. Thus imperialism, like the prehistoric hunter, first killed the being spiritually and culturally, before trying to eliminate it physically. The negation of the history and intellectual accomplishments of Black Africans was cultural, mental murder,which preceded and paved the way for their genocide here and there in the world.” ― Cheikh Anta Diop, Civilization or Barbarism: An Authentic Anthropology

We need to put an end to the poisoning of African land, rivers and seas. We need to end life-destroying pollution in all it's terrible forms, including mining waste, medical waste, pesticides and industrial waste. So many multinational corporations have moved their most toxic factories to Africa to avoid poisoning people closer to home. When are we going to put Africa first? When are we going to prioritize the rights of African people over the rights of multinational companies who profit of the misery of miners, farm workers, and factory workers, knowing that people are desperate for work and won't know they are being poisoned until it's too late. Sadly, most of us in Southern Africa continue to poison ourselves as an extension of colonization. Apartheid ended on paper, but in reality, apartheid leaders and other colonizers knew it was easy to control our minds, our wallets, our wardrobes and our lifestyles by selling us toxic products that we don't need, and making us complicit in our own slow poisoning. If we don't protect the last of the clean water, there is no future. We can't drink money. We can't eat shoes, cars or clothes. If we don't change the system now, we'll reach a tipping point and there will be no going back, as we say goodbye to the last bee and watch the last fields of food crops wither away. There is no dignity on a dead planet. Every polluter must become a protector. We only have a few years to turn this around. #ExtinctionRebellion #WaterCrisis #DayZero #NotYetUhuru #RebelForLive #SocialJustice #EndInequality #EndOpression

‘We’re Almost Extinct’: China’s Investigative Journalists Are Silenced Under Xi: By Javier C. Hernández July 12, 2019 阅读简体中文版閱讀繁體中文版 BEIJING — She was once one of China’s most feared journalists, roaming the country uncovering stories about police brutality, wrongful convictions and environmental disasters. But these days, Zhang Wenmin struggles to be heard. From the New York Times Zhang Wenmin in Chengdu, China, in January. Once a widely read investigative journalist, she now has to live mostly off her savings.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) _ A senior U.N. environmental official says entire nations could be wiped off the face of the Earth by rising sea levels if the global warming trend is not reversed by the year 2000. Coastal flooding and crop failures would create an exodus of ″eco- refugees,′ ′ threatening political chaos, said Noel Brown, director of the New York office of the U.N. Environment Program, or UNEP. He said governments have a 10-year window of opportunity to solve the greenhouse effect before it goes beyond human control. As the warming melts polar icecaps, ocean levels will rise by up to three feet, enough to cover the Maldives and other flat island nations, Brown told The Associated Press in an interview on Wednesday. Coastal regions will be inundated; one-sixth of Bangladesh could be flooded, displacing a fourth of its 90 million people. A fifth of Egypt’s arable land in the Nile Delta would be flooded, cutting off its food supply, according to a joint UNEP and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency study. ″Ecological refugees will become a major concern, and what’s worse is you may find that people can move to drier ground, but the soils and the natural resources may not support life. Africa doesn’t have to worry about land, but would you want to live in the Sahara?″ he said. UNEP estimates it would cost the United States at least $100 billion to protect its east coast alone. Shifting climate patterns would bring back 1930s Dust Bowl conditions to Canadian and U.S. wheatlands, while the Soviet Union could reap bumper crops if it adapts its agriculture in time, according to a study by UNEP and the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis. Excess carbon dioxide is pouring into the atmosphere because of humanity’s use of fossil fuels and burning of rain forests, the study says. The atmosphere is retaining more heat than it radiates, much like a greenhouse. The most conservative scientific estimate that the Earth’s temperature will rise 1 to 7 degrees in the next 30 years, said Brown. The difference may seem slight, he said, but the planet is only 9 degrees warmer now than during the 8,000-year Ice Age that ended 10,000 years ago. Brown said if the warming trend continues, ″the question is will we be able to reverse the process in time? We say that within the next 10 years, given the present loads that the atmosphere has to bear, we have an opportunity to start the stabilizing process.″ He said even the most conservative scientists ″already tell us there’s nothing we can do now to stop a ... change″ of about 3 degrees. ″Anything beyond that, and we have to start thinking about the significant rise of the sea levels ... we can expect more ferocious storms, hurricanes, wind shear, dust erosion.″ He said there is time to act, but there is no time to waste. UNEP is working toward forming a scientific plan of action by the end of 1990, and the adoption of a global climate treaty by 1992. In May, delegates from 103 nations met in Nairobi, Kenya - where UNEP is based - and decided to open negotiations on the treaty next year. Nations will be asked to reduce the use of fossil fuels, cut the emission of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases such as methane and fluorocarbons, and preserve the rain forests. ″We have no clear idea about the ecological minimum of green space that the planet needs to function effectively. What we do know is that we are destroying the tropical rain forest at the rate of 50 acres a minute, about one football field per second,″ said Brown. Each acre of rain forest can store 100 tons of carbon dioxide and reprocess it into oxygen. Brown suggested that compensating Brazil, Indonesia and Kenya for preserving rain forests may be necessary. The European Community istalking about a half-cent levy on each kilowatt- hour of fossil fuels to raise $55 million a year to protect the rain forests, and other direct subsidies may be possible, he said. The treaty could also call for improved energy efficiency, increasing conservation, and for developed nations to transfer technology to Third World nations to help them save energy and cut greenhouse gas emissions, said Brown.

This poem is an attempt at a lyrical explanation and a call to action: Greetings one and all, here together, one another, big and small. I'm here to light a fire, open minds and inspire. This some deep contemplation, worthy of the clearest enunciation. Then some reflective meditation. We're part of the web of life on Earth. Be mindful and grateful for each breath. The atmosphere our sky what is it worth? What are we part of since birth? The loss of so much life so fast. Even pollinators of our food by our pesticides and the arctic ice wont last. The arrogance and disdain for the wisdom of the past. In reality we are the legacy of the ones before us you see. It feels that in our current scenario we, represent our ancestors at the end of history. Definitely got to tell your friends and family About the impending life threatening calamity Don't be more afraid of change and rebellion than the coming mass extinction. Of millions of years of absolutely nothing. From this planet of paradise and beauty, to an alien and barren reality. Brought to the brink of extinction, by uncontrolled consumerism. So sick of self flagellation and individualistic commiseration By greed and so called wealth accumulation A fabricated currency creating insane inequality Across our human society Is it worth it? Wake up already. Stop and breath mindfully. Can we unite and change the climate trajectory? Or will we stay on this horrific war like story? There are real monsters now, with terrible ambition for mass extinction of all life. Who gave them their evil destructive powers? Are they happy in these last hours? Multinational corporate ecocide, all built on multiple genocide. The bloody history led to this extinction destiny What else do you foresee? Perhaps some real accountability for the polluting, destroying industries. Ending conflict internationally. Sustainable renewable energy. Food forests and aquaponics. Co-operation, regeneration and motivation. No more nations, harmony and healing bringing back the balance for future generations one sky, one love. Imagine unified adaptations.

"So as a prelude whites must be made to realise that they are only human, not superior. Same with Blacks. They must be made to realise that they are also human, not inferior." "The blacks are tired of standing at the touchlines to witness a game that they should be playing. They want to do things for themselves and all by themselves." "Black Consciousness is an attitude of the mind and a way of life, the most positive call to emanate from the black world for a long time. Its essence is the realisation by the black man of the need to rally together with his brothers around the cause of their oppression—the blackness of their skin—and to operate as a group to rid themselves of the shackles that bind them to perpetual servitude." "We do not want to be reminded that it is we, the indigenous people, who are poor and exploited in the land of our birth. These are concepts which the Black Consciousness approach wishes to eradicate from the black man's mind before our society is driven to chaos by irresponsible people from Coca-cola and hamburger cultural backgrounds." "Black man, you are on your own." "The basic tenet of black consciousness is that the black man must reject all value systems that seek to make him a foreigner in the country of his birth and reduce his basic human dignity." On Political Activism "You are either alive and proud or you are dead, and when you are dead, you can't care anyway." "The most potent weapon in the hands of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed." "Being black is not a matter of pigmentation—being black is a reflection of a mental attitude." "It becomes more necessary to see the truth as it is if you realise that the only vehicle for change are these people who have lost their personality. The first step therefore is to make the black man come to himself; to pump back life into his empty shell; to infuse him with pride and dignity, to remind him of his complicity in the crime of allowing himself to be misused and therefore letting evil reign supreme in the country of his birth."

Regarding the climate breakdown The National Research Foundation have some interesting reports attached to this page. "The National Research Foundation (NRF) was established in 1998 as a Schedule 3A Public Entity through the National Research Foundation Act (Act 23 of 1998). The organisation is mandated to fund research, support the development of high-end human capacity, and provide funding to establish and maintain research infrastructure platforms towards the production of knowledge in priority areas. The NRF has a dedicated mission to promote an informed discourse between science and society through its focus on science engagement. Leveraging on its reputation for excellence and performance, the NRF is able to establish partnerships with both local and international universities, research institutes and industry. These collaborations enable increased knowledge production and exchange, global access to research infrastructure, and the cohesive implementation of national imperatives to improve the quality of life of the people of the Republic of South Africa, with a particular emphasis on responding to the triple challenges of unemployment, poverty and inequality." https://www.nrf.ac.za/media-room/news/interconnected-efforts-are-key-south-africa%E2%80%99s-response-climate-change
