Description
As part of the luangwa-zambezi valley savanna elephant stronghold, this ecosystem is home to zambia's largest population of elephants, with approximately 14,000 individuals. This project is intended to conserve african savanna elephants and their habitat by addressing the impacts of poaching, human-elephant conflict (HEC), and loss of tourism revenue due to the covid-19 pandemic. Specific activities include: (1) provisioning adequate field supplies for year-round anti-poaching patrols (e.g., food rations, vehicle fuel, and vehicle spare parts) and procuring a speed boat and engine to increase rainy season patrols; (2) providing operational support to the canine detection unit; and (3) expanding HEC rapid response unit efforts, including patrol deployment, construction of elephant-proof electric fencing and grain stores to reduce crop raiding, and conducting HEC sensitization and awareness programming.
