The Drakensberg, adjoining the eastern Lesotho highlands, have recently been proclaimed as South Africa's fourth World Heritage Site. The objective of this paper is to demonstrate the potential value of intra-disciplinary and problem-orientated geographical research for this region. Such a methodological framework is demonstrated through raising questions, providing brief case-study examples and applying integrated approaches to human ecological dynamics identified from the Sani plateau region. It is found that the interactions between the natural and the social systems in eastern Lesotho are complex and offer substantial opportunities for integrated research. It is suggested that an improved understanding of the broader environmental dynamics may offer practical value in the management of natural resources in this mountain region.
