WLA is deeply embedded in the Waterberg, connected to an established network of landowners, partners, and stakeholders. WLA brings long-standing relationships, practical insight, and the ability to act swiftly on the ground.<\/p><p>Our proven Greater Waterberg Network model, originally developed to strengthen coordinated security, has shown how powerful community-driven collaboration can be. This approach can be effectively expanded to support broader biodiversity and landscape conservation at scale. Backed by strong spatial knowledge of the Waterberg and the capacity to grow expertise where needed, WLA is uniquely positioned to lead practical, informed, and connected conservation initiatives across the region.<\/p><p>Our strength lies in the deep local knowledge and expertise of the WLA team and the partners we work alongside. Together, we bring unwavering dedication, long-standing commitment, and a shared purpose. Through strategic, coordinated action, we continue to protect the Waterberg\u2014its people, its wildlife, and its ecological integrity. Our collective impact reflects a clear goal: to ensure the Waterberg remains a beacon of conservation success for generations to come.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-5b9c5ef elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5b9c5ef\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-22006f0\" data-id=\"22006f0\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-5e47a04 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5e47a04\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-496e3e6 elementor-invisible\" data-id=\"496e3e6\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInLeft&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-81ece30 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"81ece30\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"434\" height=\"434\" src=\"https:\/\/unique-design.co.za\/WLA\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Chris-png.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1571\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/unique-design.co.za\/WLA\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Chris-png.png 434w, https:\/\/unique-design.co.za\/WLA\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Chris-png-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/unique-design.co.za\/WLA\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Chris-png-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 434px) 100vw, 434px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e966174 elementor-align-start elementor-mobile-align-center elementor-icon-list--layout-traditional elementor-list-item-link-full_width elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon-list\" data-id=\"e966174\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon-list.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"elementor-icon-list-items\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"mailto:chris@bramel.co.za\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"far fa-envelope\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">Chris@bramel.co.za<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-6b882ed\" data-id=\"6b882ed\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-94537f8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"94537f8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Chris Ransome \u2013 WLA Chairman and Director\n<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7c80a8f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7c80a8f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Chris, a chartered accountant by profession, has been actively involved in nature conservation in the Waterberg for the past 23 years whilst simultaneously pursuing his career in corporate finance.

Chris brings decades of granular experience in game farming and conservation complemented by his corporate negotiation, structuring, financial and implementation skills.<\/p><p>In 2008, Chris co-founded Rooiberg Bewaria, a fully operational public benefit organisation that provides environmental and biodiversity conservation and protection services to its membership base of over 70 landowners and the indigenous communities in the Rooiberg precincts of the Southern Waterberg. Over recent years, Rooiberg Bewaria has received recognition both locally and internationally for the significant impact that it has on wildlife and biodiversity conservation in this area spanning over 160,000 hectares.<\/p><p>Chris joined the board as chairman of Waterberg Landscape Alliance in 2024 under the mantra of \u2018Do Best for the Waterberg\u2019 in terms of developing and implementing a sustainable and inclusive wildlife-based economy within the Waterberg landscape whilst actively enhancing its biodiversity and conservation.<\/p><p>During 2024\/5 Chris co-founded RoiSan Reserve, a 15,000 hectare nature conservancy.
