The underpinning purpose of this building block is to create baseline for the entire solution. Once the site is selected for solution, primary and secondary data is collected through research and analysis. For instance, It is with the help of bathymetric data that the depth of the shortlisted ponds is identified, which further facilitates in choosing the right pond with the required depth (0.8 - 3 meters) for installing floating treatment wetland.

The basic purpose of engaging with the local community members was to identify the challenges faced by them and the feasible solution to overcome them. Moreover, this engagement facilitated in making the intervention/solution a local asset and encouraged community to take ownership of the solution. This is pivotal for the sustainability of the project and to create awareness among the community.

Biodiversity stewardship can be important to realising the ecological, economic and social benefits that healthy ecosystems can deliver over the long term. Biodiversity stewardship can stimulate rural economic development by creating a focus for nature-based tourism and sustainable natural resource use. This assists in the diversification of rural livelihoods, especially in agriculturally marginal areas. Biodiversity stewardship sites can also support job creation and skills development through direct land management and restoration, or indirectly through compatible commercial activities. In South Africa, land reform often results in new communal land ownership. In these areas, biodiversity stewardship can help to ensure access to the economic opportunities associated with protected areas.

Biodiversity stewardship is an approach to entering into agreements with private and communal landowners to protect and manage land in biodiversity priority areas, led by conservation authorities in South Africa. It recognises landowners as the custodians of biodiversity on their land. Biodiversity stewardship is based on voluntary commitments from landowners, with a range of different types of biodiversity stewardship agreements available to support conservation and sustainable resource use. Some types of biodiversity stewardship agreements are formally declared as protected areas in terms of the Protected Areas Act, providing long-term security for the sites involved.

Training for the maintenance and proper operation of the restrooms.

Gathering feedback from users to improve the units.

Monitoring of the solution and the ecosystem's response, together with the protected area authorities and the project's technical team.

Proposals for technological improvements to the units based on the monitoring results.

For the implementation of the solution it is necessary to build dry toilets by means of a portable system of panels that can be easily transported to remote and difficult to access sites. Generating the least possible impact to the natural area. The installation of the same is done efficiently and adapting to the climatic conditions that in mountain ecosystems such as this, are not always favorable.

Establish contact with the institutions in charge of managing the protected area to discuss the problem and the proposed solution.

Agree on the signing of a bilateral agreement for the implementation of the project and its continuity.

Compilation of information on the protected area's ecosystem, geographic, social, and environmental characteristics relevant to the issue.

Development of a management plan for human waste that reduces the impact on the flora and fauna of the site and improves the visitor experience.

Linkage with the restaurant network adds on the demand for healthy produce of the Wildlife-friendly Community. Sideline production of the nature-based food containers increase value of the produce and enlarge the market, in particular by urban consumers.

in order to be feasible, planning of protected areas and socio-ecosystems must have an impact on land use planning instruments.
