# South African National Parks has held engagements with cultural and religious groups on the use of caves in Table Mountain National Park. The talks aim to balance spiritual practices with conservation, ensuring fragile cave ecosystems are protected while remaining accessible. Stakeholders emphasised inclusive participation and collaboration to tackle issues like littering and fires. SANParks spokesperson, JP Louw, says the outcomes will feed into the park’s ten-year management plan. He pledged ongoing dialogue to safeguard heritage, safety, and ecological integrity.
