Abstract
Wildlife ranching in South Africa is a relatively young industry which has grown at unforeseen rates to an industry bigger than the dairy or the sugar industries in this country. Its history, development, the contribution, as a sustainable form of agriculture, made to the South African economy, decent job creation, food security and to conservation and biodiversity is discussed. Future possible contributions, as future goals of Wildlife Ranching South Africa, are also enunciated.
