Challenge

Communities around South Luangwa face daily human-wildlife conflict that threatens food security and livelihoods. Children and young adults grow up in this environment without access to conservation education, inheriting fear and poverty instead of opportunity. This cycle weakens community resilience and erodes trust in wildlife stewardship.

Solution

This project equips youth and their communities with conservation education that transforms conflict into understanding. By learning practical skills and stewardship values, young people become leaders who strengthen food security, protect livelihoods, and inspire collective guardianship of South Luangwa's wildlife.

Long-Term Impact

Over 1,500 children and youth across 7 chiefdoms will gain conservation education, reducing human-wildlife conflict for 35,000 community members in one year. By equipping young leaders with skills, the project strengthens food security, protects livelihoods, and ensures intergenerational stewardship of South Luangwa's biodiversity for decades to come.
