Working with Ecosystems to protect Wildlife for the Benefit of Future Generations
~ Our Mission ~
Our mission is to build a future where wildlife and communities can thrive together, creating a healthier, more sustainable, and more resilient environment for all. To do this, we work with community and conservation partners in Zambia carrying out impactful wildlife and community projects in key Protected Areas such as Game Management Areas adjacent to North and South Luangwa National Parks, Kafue National Park, and West Lunga National Park.
~ What We Do ~
Zambia Wildlife and Community Foundation is the primary funding source for many programs in Protected Areas around some of Zambia's largest national parks. Our 501(c)(3) U.S. based non-profit supports two Collaborative Management Partnerships between the Zambian Government and our locally based sister non-profit, Kusunga Zambia Foundation, and is a major supporter of Mfuwe-based Charity Begins at Home that operates community and wildlife conservation programs in the Luangwa River Valley, among other projects that are part of our focus.
What We Support
Natural Resource Management
Wildlife protection and land conservation are critical components of our charity's mission in rural Zambia. These efforts are essential for maintaining biodiversity, preserving vital ecosystems, and ensuring the sustainability of natural resources that local communities depend on.
Local Community Engagement
Conservation does not occur in isolation from people. Local Community Engagement is key in biodiversity conservation, as it provides a vital connection between communities and their environment. Such engagement promotes sustainable conservation, improves community participation and positively shapes local perception towards the stewardship of natural resources within their surroundings.
Infrastructure Development
Infrastructure Development is the development or improvement of basic infrastructure that improves the quality of life for residents. Roads, clean water supplies, sanitation facilities, agricultural improvements, health clinics, schools, and community housing needs all fall into this category.
