Protecting Zimbabwe’s Elephants: In partnership with local communities and international organizations, we work to safeguard elephant populations through habitat conservation, anti-poaching initiatives, and community engagement. By fostering coexistence and sustainable practices, we aim to secure a future where elephants and people thrive together.
Safeguarding Hwange’s Wildlife: Our anti-poaching initiative in Hwange National Park focuses on protecting vulnerable species, particularly elephants and rhinos, from illegal hunting. By equipping rangers with advanced tools, enhancing patrols, and engaging local communities, we strive to reduce poaching activities and ensure the long-term survival of Hwange’s iconic wildlife. This project is a critical step towards maintaining the ecological balance and preserving the natural heritage of one of Zimbabwe’s most treasured national parks.
Preserving the Eastern Highlands' Rich Biodiversity: The Eastern Highlands of Zimbabwe are home to unique and diverse ecosystems, including montane forests, grasslands, and endemic species. Our conservation efforts focus on protecting these vital habitats from deforestation, climate change, and unsustainable land use. By working closely with local communities, we promote sustainable practices that ensure the long-term survival of this region’s remarkable biodiversity, securing a future where nature and people coexist in harmony.
ZIM SCB is committed to protecting Zimbabwe’s biodiversity through science, education, and community engagement.
