For his dedication and ongoing commitment to Conservancies.  In 2003 Ivan created the Gauteng Conservancy and Stewardship Association (GCSA) which would in the space of a few years draw together hundreds of people across South Africa who were fighting a lonely battle to conserve and protect the environment where they lived.  The GCA grew into the National Association of Conservancies / Stewardship of South Africa (NACSSA), involving conservancies in all nine provinces.
