Project objectives

The project aims to secure agreement from government and traditional leadership on detailed and final outer boundaries for a community conservancy. A zoning plan will be established, with the conservancy broadly divided into intensive agricultural support zones, livestock farming zones and wildlife conservation zones. A map of conservancy boundaries and narrative document signed by relevant chiefs will be deposited at the Zambian Ministry of Lands. At the end of the project, the conservancy is planned to become operable through the establishment of sufficient capacity to implement a five year management plan, including wildlife monitoring and wildlife-based income generation plans.

This project is implemented by Zoological Society of London.
