Environmental economics has grown significantly in the last 30 years with the increasing concern about global warming, climate change and sustainable development. As a result, many projects today contain an environmental focus.  Although we have always paid close attention to the economics of tourism as a traffic-generating sector in our feasibility studies of transport projects, recent tourism projects have formed part of the Economic Impact Assessment process. Imani Development has worked on the following projects:

• formulating policies for the rehabilitation of degraded rural areas in South Africa
• developing tourism in national parks in South Africa and Lesotho
• forestry regeneration in Kenya
• regional planning in Swaziland and Lesotho
