SYNOPSIS

m
Sa
In February 2023, Petronel Nieuwoudt and her team were planning for the future of their organization Care
for Wild. Nieuwoudt had recently received a request from a potential international donor to outline the
interdependencies for the social, ecological, and organizational aspects of her operation to determine how
funding could help strengthen these areas. Care for Wild is a not-for-profit rhinoceros sanctuary based in
n

South Africa that is facing various challenges and opportunities. Over the course of the organization’s first
12 years, Care for Wild has been committed to helping rescue and rehabilitate injured and orphaned rhinos,
tio


a species that is at threat of extinction. Nieuwoudt is aware that a healthy and holistic system approach is
needed for Care for Wild’s future. She is now tasked with articulating the complexities and
interdependencies between these two areas. Her response to the potential donor’s request will also reinforce
lu




the importance of resilience within the organization’s socio-ecological environment.
So

,ANALYSIS

1. Based on your understanding of a socio-ecological system, assess the extent to which Care for
Wild can be understood as a socio-ecological system.

Socio-ecological systems pertain to a nested set of social and ecological cycles that adapt to each other and
to the system within a spatial limit.2 They are pertinent because human communities depend heavily on the
interactions within these social and ecological environments. Also, understanding the interactions is
necessary to adequately enable stable systems.

In his article, Ackoff defines a system as a whole that contains two or more parts. 3 Each part is
interconnected and influences the actions and reactions of other parts in the whole, as well as the whole in

general. Systems can either be linear and static or complex and dynamic. In relation to their surrounding
environments, these systems can either be open—where they are responsive to their surrounding
environment—or closed—where there is no environment.4

Open complex systems have the characteristic of being adaptive to changes in their surrounding
