ESWATINI NATIONAL TRUST COMMISSION
Conserving Eswatini's Natural and Cultural Heritage
The ENTC now has a new website, at www.entc.org.sz
Our logo is adapted from a painting by Phillip Dlamini, 1998, of a purple crested turaco. In traditional Swazi dress, the red feathers feature in the royal headdress, so this bird illustration is not only a symbol for wildlife conservation, but also of cultural heritage.
