We help farmers in the Mbire district reap rewards from conserving nature by planting chilis, which diversifies farmers’ income and deters wildlife from destroying crops. Tobacco production is an important industry in Zimbabwe, and curing practices are a significant threat to wildlife habitats. In Hurunge, we helped farmers construct new or convert existing tobacco barns to be energy efficient.

We provide training and equipment to support small businesses and sustainable livelihoods in Mbire. These enterprises reduce pressure on natural resources by creating sustainable sources of income.

Technology is helping rangers make the most of limited resources and labor. We train and equip rangers in the Middle Zambezi Valley to collect and map data on wildlife sightings and poaching activity, which contributes to informed decision-making on patrols.
