From Strength to Strength in Zambia

Nestled in a small and relatively unknown corner of Zambia lies a beacon of hope that just keeps shining brighter. Simalaha Community Conservancy has grown from strength to strength since the first animal translocation took place in 2013, which put the wheels in motion for the successful nature-based economy that we see today.

The local communities have helped to pave the way for what community-led conservation should look like. With support from Peace Parks Foundation and partners, they have lifted themselves out of poverty and changed their lives by engaging in multiple revenue-generating programmes. This includes the agri-hub project, conservation agriculture, establishing fish sanctuaries and beekeeping, to name a few.

Peace Parks’ CEO Werner Myburgh, sits down with Communication Coordinator, Lésa van Rooyen to chat about what is in store for the Simalaha Community Conservancy and Sioma Ngwezi National Park in 2023.
