Green Group Simonstown (GGST) is a registered non-profit company. We are passionately committed to promoting a culture of human-wildlife harmonious co-existence through innovative, locally-driven solutions that prioritise the ethical and holistic preservation of our natural heritage and biodiversity for the benefit of all forms of life, in present and future generations.
GGST is based in Simon’s Town, a treasure of natural wonders. This enchanting coastal haven, where majestic mountains meet pristine beaches and vibrant marine life thrives, is our constant source of inspiration. The town’s remarkable biodiversity is a testament to the inspiring beauty of nature, with an incredible array of wildlife calling it home.
From the endangered African penguin to the Southern right whale, the great white shark, the chacma baboon, and the endangered black harrier, every species that inhabits this special place reminds us of the importance of our mission and the beauty we strive to protect.
Simon’s Town is the third oldest town in South Africa and serves as a Naval Military base.
Here, a poignant paradox arises: the intricate complexities of balancing the interests of private businesses, tourists, residents, and the Navy come to the forefront, particularly in the face of human-wildlife encroachment.
This is where the boundaries of human development intersect with the delicate balance of pristine ecosystems, threatening the very fabric of the natural world. In response, GGST adopts a localised approach to improve coexistence, empowering communities to take on stewardship of conservation initiatives that prioritise the well-being, sentience, and dignity of all living beings. Guided by principles that recognise the profound interconnectedness of humans and nature, we acknowledge the inherent value of ecosystems and wildlife, not just as species, but as individual entities with intrinsic worth, deserving of our respect, compassion, and protection.
