Mission
Our mission is to conserve biodiversity in the Mana Pools UNESCO site and surrounding Zambezi Valley of Zimbabwe through anti-poaching, infrastructure development, community engagement, and research.

Funding was provided for the following activities conducted with Zimbabwe Parks Authority in Mana Pools and the surrounding Zambezi Valley of Zimbabwe: (1) informer rewards paid upon the recovery of elephant tusks in a city not far from the Park; (2) clearing approximately 900 miles of roads and the establishment of a new remote base; (3) purchasing a vehicle for anti-poaching work; (4) successfully treating iconic bull elephant Tusker for puncture wounds caused by another elephant; (5) confiscating and releasing back to the wild a live pangolin; (6) purchasing and distributing eleven thousand bales of hay to feed cattle of impoverished villagers during a severe drought; (7) conducting sporting events and wildlife quizzes for more than 700 children in villages adjacent to Mana Pools; (8) funding tuition for a weeklong, hands-on conservation education camp for ninety impoverished children from park boundary communities; and (9) engaging in human-wildlife coexistence outreach including community awareness training and conflict mitigation tactics.Expenses $319,571
