Conservation Lower Zambezi

Welcome to CLZ

Africa has some of the most beautiful landscapes in the entire world and some of the most fabulous wildlife that captivates people from all over the globe who sit entranced watching documentaries on the television or are lucky enough to come and visit on safari. The elephants, lions, leopards and countless other animals that enchant us have lived and evolved here through thousands of years in peace and harmony with the environment.

Poaching, habitat encroachment and other resource abuse occurs throughout most of the world, including Zambia, and CLZ has risen to the challenge of taking remedial action in the Lower Zambezi.

It is anticipated that a better informed next generation will take more environmentally-responsible decisions by CLZ providing the following:-

• Environmental Education through field and class studies AND

• Outreach and sensitization programmes within the surrounding communities.

CLZ also assists ZAWA (Zambia Wildlife Authority) in combating illegal resource use by assisting with:-

• transport (road and aerial support)

• patrol rations

• radio communications

• specialized training

• tranquilizing and treating wild animals injured by poachers.

These efforts have had a measurable positive effect in reducing the amount of poaching in the Lower Zambezi. However, the challenge continues and CLZ can only be effective with your support.

Since its inception in 1995, CLZ has become one of Africa's foremost conservation organizations and it is being used as a role model for other areas in Africa.
