About our cause

Conservation Lower Zambezi (CLZ) is committed to the conservation and sustainable use of the local wildlife and natural resources of the Lower Zambezi in Zambia through environmental protection, education and supporting local community development.


Environmental protection:
• facilitating the Zambia Wildlife Authority (ZAWA) in their wildlife protection activities by providing rations, transport and logistical support for ZAWA patrol officers who complete 10 day long, five-man patrols and snare sweeps in the Lower Zambezi National Park (LZNP) and surrounding game management areas (GMAs);
• assisting in the treatment and rehabilitation of injured and snared animals, e.g. in August 2011 CLZ assisted ZAWA with a response to the Anthrax outbreak and succeeded in protected the lion population of the LZNP.
Environmental education and community development: facilitating the local community’s understanding of the benefits of protecting the environment via:
• Outreach: taking environmental education to the schools and communities through an outreach program to remote rural areas surrounding the LZNP;
• Centre visits:
o bringing school children to our education centre to experience and learn about how and why the environment needs to be protected;
o vital health, sanitation and HIV/AIDS awareness elements are also incorporated in the curriculum;
o children can experience their own national wildlife as lucky international tourists do through game drives and boat cruises.
• Human wildlife conflict solutions: assisting the implementation of community solutions to animal/human conflict issues e.g. chilli fencing and providing assistance in problem animal situations;
• Safari guide training: organising safari guide training programmes exams in the Lower Zambezi area including sponsorship programmes for local participants.
