Community conservation in Kafue
About Us

Protecting Nature.
Empowering Communities.

Building a Future Where Wildlife and Communities Thrive Together

The Kafue Conservancy is a long-term community conservation initiative dedicated to protecting the extraordinary landscapes surrounding Kafue National Park. Our vision is simple: thriving wildlife, thriving communities and thriving ecosystems.

Rather than focusing solely on protecting wildlife within national park boundaries, we believe the future of conservation lies in empowering the people who live alongside these remarkable landscapes.

By supporting sustainable livelihoods, responsible tourism, education and conservation enterprises, we are helping to create a future where communities become the custodians and greatest beneficiaries of Africa's natural heritage.

The Conservancy acts as a platform that connects local communities, government agencies, conservation organisations, tourism operators, philanthropists and impact investors around a shared vision.

The National Parks Campaign

Expanding Conservation Beyond Boundaries

Across Africa, national parks cannot exist in isolation. The long-term survival of Africa's wildlife depends on protecting these wider landscapes while creating meaningful opportunities for local people.

THE VISION

A Network of Conservancies

The National Parks Campaign is an ambitious initiative to establish community-led conservation destinations around Africa's most iconic protected areas.

THE STRATEGY

Conservation Economies

By creating self-sustaining micro-economies driven by tourism and green enterprise, we reduce reliance on philanthropy and build resilient communities.

THE OUTCOME

Thriving Landscapes

Wildlife corridors are secured, poaching drops dramatically as communities see value in live animals, and regional biodiversity prospers.
