Supporting community and wildlife coexistence in Southern Africa
2 March 2023
The Kavango–Zambezi (KAZA) Transfrontier Conservation Area is one of the largest conservation areas in the world, spanning the international borders of five countries in Southern Africa.
It is home to an incredible diversity of wildlife, much of which resides outside national parks and protected areas. Poaching, habitat loss and human-wildlife conflict present many challenges.
This video presents the work of the Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Programme in supporting Community Conservancies to improve community livelihoods and the sustainable management of wildlife in Botswana, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

Towards sustainable wildlife management in Zambia and Zimbabwe

The latest SWM Programme consolidated report is a summary of the studies carried out in Zambia and Zimbabwe.
Zambia and Zimbabwe, with Angola, Botswana and Namibia, constitute the Kavango Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area (KaZa-TFCA), which is the largest transfrontier conservation area in the world (520 000 km²), and whose key objective is to join fragmented wildlife habitats to form an interconnected mosaic of protected areas and transboundary wildlife corridors. In this region, wildlife populations have declined over the past three decades, mainly due to poaching and loss of habitat.
In this TFCA, the Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Programme aims to address these challenges by promoting the model of community conservancy (CC) to diversify income-generating activities and supply a well-balanced source of wild and domestic protein. In Zimbabwe, the SWM Programme supports the emerging project of Mucheni CC encompassing three wards of Binga District, in Matabeleland North Province. In Zambia, the target implementation sites are the Simalaha and Inyasemu CC, located in Southern Zambia.

Do you know what a community conservancy is?
On the SWM Programme site in Zimababwe, the Mucheni community conservancy objective is to support socio-economic development of the communities through sustainable utilisation of natural resources and agricultural development. It is set to empower the local community to play a more central role in the management and decision-making of various conservation-based enterprises.
The SWM Programme is working with traditional chiefs, local communities and government authorities to establish a Mucheni Community.

Connaissez-vous les aires de conservation communautaires?
Sur le site du SWM Programme au Zimbabwe, l'objectif de l’aire de conservation communautaire de Mucheni est de soutenir le développement socio-économique des communautés par l'utilisation durable des ressources naturelles et le développement agricole. Il s'agit de donner à la communauté locale les moyens de jouer un rôle plus central dans la gestion et la prise de décision de diverses entreprises basées sur la conservation.
Le SWM Programme collabore avec les chefs traditionnels, les communautés locales et les autorités gouvernementales pour établir cette aire de conservation communautaire.
