ZCA is excited to announce its new partnership with Rewilding Africa! This UK-based organization is a champion for Africa’s wildlife and wilderness, and they’re looking for passionate supporters to join their mission.

The Challenge:

A Disappearing Paradise

Africa’s breathtaking landscapes and iconic wildlife face a growing threat. Habitat loss, poaching, and limited economic opportunities for communities living near these areas are pushing these ecosystems towards a tipping point.

The Rewilding Africa Solution:

Empowering People, Protecting Wildlife

Rewilding Africa takes a groundbreaking approach that puts local communities at the center. They work alongside these communities to create massive “thrive zones” surrounding national parks and reserves. Here’s the vision:

  • Community-Led Planning: Rewilding Africa collaborates with local people to develop a sustainable plan for managing previously unprotected wilderness areas.
  • Building Sustainable Livelihoods: This initiative helps communities find new ways to thrive through eco-tourism, sustainable agriculture, and conservation-friendly businesses. This provides a viable alternative to practices like poaching and charcoal production.
  • Restoring Wildlife Corridors: Safe passage for animal populations is established, allowing for better movement and a healthier overall ecosystem.

The Impact:

A Ripple Effect of Change

Your support will create a positive ripple effect across Africa:

  • Thriving Communities: Local people become stakeholders in conservation, leading to a brighter future for themselves and their families.
  • Restored Landscapes: Once-vulnerable wilderness areas become protected havens for wildlife.
  • Endangered Species Protected: Elephants, lions, rhinos, and countless other animals can flourish once again.

Investing in Change:

How You Can Help

Rewilding Africa is currently seeking funding to launch projects in Kenya, Namibia, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Malawi, South Africa, and Uganda, with talks underway in even more countries. Your contribution, through individual donations, impact funds, or carbon offset programs, can make a real difference.

Rewilding Africa – putting wilderness community livelihoods first in the fight against Africa’s biodiversity loss and endangered species extinction crisis

ZCA is proud to announce its newest partnership with Rewilding Africa CIC, who are looking to grow their supporter base in the United States. The not for profit UK based Community Interest Company (CIC), is urgently looking for early stage funding to help finance the funds required for its multi country proof of concept “mega” Community Conservancy planning, development and management initiative.

This ambitious vision will see millions of hectares of land around Africas national parks and reserves being converted into thrive buffer zones, which involves extensive communal planning and the development of a nature positive formal master land use plan for these currently totally unplanned wilderness’s, that leaves them vulnerable to exploitation and the communities with no alternative means to make a living aside from subsistence farming, charcoaling and poaching.

This property development centric approach will unlock significant lease concession opportunities for local and international big business and investors to be able to lease land and partner with the wilderness communities, by setting up conservation centric operations on these now formally planned, “derisked” and properly macro managed wilderness landscapes, which will include vast areas set aside for wildlife corridors, open grass land and forest.

Opportunities are envisaged for game farming, high value agriculture, eco-tourism, renewable energy, construction, water management to name a few!

In order for Rewilding Africa to be able to develop these master plans, working hand in hand with their country appointed implementation beneficiaries, the CIC urgently needs pre-project impact capital from sources including individual philanthropy, family offices, carbon credits, impact funds etc.

They currently have appointed implementation beneficiaries and projects that need pre-project finance in:

  • Kenya
  • Namibia
  • Zambia
  • Zimbabwe
  • Malawi
  • South Africa
  • Uganda

With talks happening for projects in several additional countries.
