Zimbabwe

Our commitment to the conservation of biological resources in southern Africa is made through ongoing support of the Dambari Wildlife Trust.

The Trust is one of a small number of nongovernmental organisations that works with the Parks & Wildlife Management Authority on an agreed plan for the conservation of the country's rhino populations; it has a mandate to determine population size and distribution of cheetah and to reduce human-predator conflict; and, undertakes research to improve understanding of little known and elusive species of small antelope.

An increasingly important function of DWT and its projects is to provide opportunities for the training and development of local conservation professionals whose contributions to the management of their country’s biological resources will be critical in the coming years. This includes provision of training for personnel working in Zimbabwe’s national parks and both work placement and research opportunities for local undergraduates and postgraduates studying wildlife and other natural resource management.
