CARNIVORE FUND

Many species of carnivores that are endangered or considered vulnerable occur within the Zambezi Basin. Management of carnivores is often problematic given the potential for conflict with local communities. However, they are also keystone species often indicating a healthy ecosystem. The presence of large carnivores especially, can significantly add to the tourism potential of an area. The Zambezi Society aims to collect data concerning the status and distribution of, and threats to the survival, of carnivores throughout the Zambezi Basin to assist governments in deciding priority areas for conservation. The Society also aims to collect data that will assist managers with mitigating conflict between carnivores and humans within the Basin, resulting in an increase in both carnivore populations and the well being of humans.

RHINO & ELEPHANT FUND

These two "flagship" Zambezi species are an important focus of conservation attention for the Zambezi Society. Donations to this fund ensure that the highest possible protection is afforded to the few-remaining endangered black rhinoceros that still reside within the Zambezi valley's National Parks estate. Anti-poaching equipment and supplies are purchased, veterinary bills paid and specialist tracking scouts employed to monitor and record this species, notably within the Matusadona National Park, south of Lake Kariba. Elephant, though plentiful in the Zambezi valley, are nonetheless vulnerable as their habitat is reduced by the encroachment of agriculture, bringing them more and more into conflict with humans and the danger of being poached. The Zambezi Society's elephant conservation programme focuses on research into their behaviour and habitat and on minimising conflict between elephants and people in the settled lands of the Zambezi.

Note: As donations to this theme go to both Rhino and Elephant, please inform us by email if you would prefer to support only one or the other, otherwise your donation will be used to the greatest effect on either species.

WILDERNESS FUND

The Zambezi river basin contains some of the wildest and most unspoilt landscapes in Africa, all of which teem with an incredible diversity of African plants, wild animals and birds. This fund is aimed at promoting the Zambezi's wilderness values and at educating people about conserving wilderness and protecting it for future generations. Donations go towards developing and running wilderness awareness and management training courses, producing wilderness-sensitive guidelines for tourism operators and visitors and assisting Zambezi valley communities to develop sustainable income-generating initiatives based on their wild areas.

PARKS SUPPORT FUND

The Zambezi Society believes that we owe it to future generations in Africa to ensure that those areas of the Zambezi river basin which have been state-classified as "Protected" continue to be conserved as a valuable part of the national heritage of their respective countries. Unfortunately governments all too often allocate grossly inadequate funds for this purpose. Donations to this fund will help us provide much-needed back-up support and equipment to assist Park wardens and their staff in carrying out research, anti-poaching activities and other essential duties often neglected because of under-funding.

The Zambezi Society is assisting the Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority in various fields including Trans-Frontier Conservation Arears and the development of Park management plans, most specifically for Matusadona National Park, Zimbabwe.

WATER/WETLANDS CAMPAIGN

The Zambezi is Africa's fourth largest river basin and is a major provider of clean water and natural resources for millions of people in eight drought-prone central/southern African states. Protecting the river's wetland ecosystems is essential in order to safeguard this precious water resource. Funds for this campaign are directed towards wetland biodiversity research and lobbying governments to undertake holistic river basin planning.
