Zim Parks Sets Up Endangered Species Fund; Here Is How You Can Help

The Parks and Wildlife Management Authority has set up a Zimbabwe Endangered Species Fund.

Following the ban on hunting of lions, leopards and elephants in areas outside of Hwange National Park has been suspended. Government is also directing all those currently in the field to stop their hunting activities and withdraw.

On top of that it has said:

Government is very much aware of the financial implications on the Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority, the Safari Industry, CAMPFIRE Communities and Wildlife Producers affected by this suspension and therefore appeals for funding from the donor community and well-wishers to assist Zimbabwe Parks and Management Authority to thoroughly investigate operations of this important hunting industry. Financial resources generated will ensure that Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority has sufficient capacity to monitor the activities of this important hunting industry as required by law. Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority has set up a Zimbabwe Endangered Species Fund.
