Mokopane Biodiversity Conservation Centre

The Mokopane Biodiversity Conservation Centre was established in 1979 and opened to the public in October 1981, as a satellite of the National Zoological Garden, Pretoria Zoo. In 2004 the NZG was proclaimed as a National Facility, as part of the National Research Foundation of South Africa. In April 2018 the Mokopane BCC was transferred to the National Department of Environment, Fisheries and Forestry as campus of the South African National Biodiversity Institute.

The centre is located on the northern entrance road into the town, Mokopane, in the Limpopo province of South Africa and covers an area of 1300 ha. The centre is a combination of different conservation environments consisting of a small zoo, breeding camps, and a nature reserve, accommodating a large variety of plant and animal species.
