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.
The flora within Mantenga Nature Reserve has not been thoroughly investigated yet, but the combination of highveld and middleveld climate results in a wide range of indigenous flora.
A vegetation map for the reserve is currently being compiled, along with updates to the flora checklist, and this information should be available soon.
Due partly to other forms of land use prior to the establishment of the reserve, there are a number of exotic plants within the reserve, including guava (Psidium guajava), Lantana (Lantana camara), bugweed (Solanum mauritianus), black wattle (Acacia mearnsii), pine (Pinus patula), gum (Eucalyptus spp.), and jacaranda (Jacaranda mimosifolia).
