At Nsanga Conservation Zambia, our mission is to conserve the landscape through scientific research, evidence-based decision making, local empowerment and collaboration with stakeholders. This way envision a thriving central Luangwa Valley, where people and wildlife coexist.
Conservation Science
Our research efforts serve as the cornerstone of our conservation work. By gathering and analyzing valuable data on ecological processes, biodiversity, and social dynamics, we provide critical insights that inform conservation strategies and decision-making. With scientific evidence, we aim to equip conservation practitioners and stakeholders with the knowledge needed to protect and restore Zambia’s natural ecosystems.
Empowerment &
Community Engagement
We believe that true conservation success hinges on the active involvement and support of local communities. Our community engagement initiatives are designed to foster a sense of ownership and acceptance of conservation efforts among local residents.
Through capacity building and local leadership, education and awareness, we empower communities to become stewards of their natural heritage.
By fostering strong partnerships, dialogue and transparency, we ensure that conservation interventions are culturally sensitive, socially inclusive, and sustainable in the long term.
Conservation Action
Using evidence collected through our scientific work integrated in our community-centric and mostly locally led approach, we develop concrete actions such as the formation of wildlife corridors, the implementation of proven human-wildlife conflict mitigation methods, the establishment of alternative livelihood projects or the engagement in education and awareness programmes.
Currently, our conservation efforts primarily target the Central Luangwa Valley System, encompassing Luambe National Park, Lukusuzi National Park, and the surrounding Game Management Areas, with a particular emphasis on Lumimba Game Management Area.
This area spans more than 4000 square kilometers and includes several Chiefdoms, including Chitungulu, Mwanya, and Nabwalya.
