AWF provided direct technical and financial support to Mana Pools National Park in the Middle Zambezi Valley from 2016 to 2025. Our work was designed to meet several challenges. Unreliable communication between ranger patrols and their home base left rangers vulnerable and less effective; park infrastructure, equipment, and technical training were lacking; and communities felt excluded from conservation activities. Through a combination of anti-poaching and human-wildlife coexistence strategies, ranger and community scout training, and investments in essential infrastructure and equipment, AWF supported Zimparks in increasing wildlife security in the park and surrounding areas.
