Strategic Aims
- To cooperate and help the Zambia Wildlife Authority (ZAWA) in all its conservation ideals
- To involve local communities in the promotion of wildlife and habitat conservation through the proper sustainable utilization of renewable resources
- To promote and encourage Village Anti- Poaching Programmes
- To discourage illegal, unselective and wasteful use of wildlife, such as commercial meat poaching, by such means as cable snaring
- To help local communities understand and manage wildlife in a sustainable manner and to take on responsibility for its long term stewardship
- To ensure that communities benefit from wildlife in terms of money, employment, food and community projects
- In summary the idea is to encourage village communities living near wildlife areas to take responsibility of the well being of wildlife and its habitat, through realizing that wildlife is a renewable and lucrative natural resource. Wildlife will provide a better long term return through its conservation, than by its over exploitation.
