The Rurambira Community Conservancy has 30 volunteer community wildlife scouts. These scouts are from local communities and help to address human wildlife conflicts such as hyena attacks on livestock, illegal fishing, and charcoal making. They also play an important role as conservation ambassadors between the conservancy, community and the park helping to ensure that people, livestock and wildlife can coexist in the landscape together.
The scouts are enthusiastic and volunteer their time, however they need equipment to be successful in their work. This includes boots, ponchos, torches (flashlights) and a first aid kit as well as training to inform others in their community about conservation in the landscape.
Through your donation, you help a Community Wildlife Scout protect local communities and wildlife. Funds are managed by a committee that includes community representatives, lodge companies and a conservation NGO.
