HUMAN-WILDLIFE CO-EXISTENCE WORK - AN UPDATE (July 2025)

July 2025: The Zambezi Society's Human-Wildlife Coexistence work with rural communities along the boundaries of the Charara Safari Area east of Lake Kariba is proving very successful. Our data-driven mitigation and response strategies (metal strip fencing, chilli fencing, chilli bricks, noise deterrents and white rocks) have dramatically reduced crop-raiding and human-wildlife conflict in key wildlife corridors and conflict hotspots, and have resulted in an average 50% increase in crop yields.
