Supporting Rangers

MANA POOLS CLINIC

The Mana Pools Clinic located at the National Park’s Nyamepi headquarters is a central medical clinic that services all ZimParks rangers within the Middle Zambezi area. The Zambezi Society supports the clinic through the provision of basic medicines and equipment. This ensures all rangers have access to basic treatment whilst on duty.

RANGER FOOD RATIONS

The Zambezi Society distributes a contribution towards basic deployment supplies and food rations to ZimParks rangers across the Middle Zambezi area. We also distribute basic food rations for rangers and their families living on station in this area.

KARL PISEC PRIMARY SCHOOL, MARONGORA

The Karl Pisec Primary School was established at the ZimParks Marongora station in the 1980s with funding from the Pisec Family. The purpose of the school was to provide an education for ZimParks rangers’ children living on station. The Pisec family has continued to support the school since, working with the Zambezi Society to strengthen the learning experience of all ranger children who attend the school. This is done through provision of educational materials, structural and functional improvements (repairs, solar installation, painting etc.), and a one meal a day programme for the children.

THE BULLETIN - NOV-DEC 2023

Nov-Dec 2023: This year, Zamsoc has continued to provide material and operational assistance to ZimParks in the Charara Safari Area and in Mana Pools. We await more details of the newly-signed Peace Parks/ZimParks co-management agreement for the Greater Mana Ecosystem, and are standing by to collaborate. Thanks to donor support, we helped to complete carnivore surveys in the Zambezi Valley, strengthened our Human-Wildlife Co-existence projects with communities in the Charara-Kariba area, and provided ongoing support for rangers and their families.

April 2022: As part of The Zambezi Society’s ongoing Historical Series, to celebrate 40 years of Zambezi conservation, we feature our support for Zimbabwe’s Parks & Wildlife Authority (ZimParks) - particularly for the work of rangers in the field.
