The Mucheni Community Conservancy profile

No results found.The Kavango Zambezi (KAZA) Transfrontier Conservation area is home to a great diversity of ecosystems and landscapes. Each year, the area experiences large-scale migrations of megafauna. Whilst rural communities in the Mucheni (Zimbabwe) and Simalaha (Zambia) Community Conservancies have distinct cultures and local governments, they depend on hunting and fishing for both food and income. Community conservancies are legally-recognised, geographically-defined areas that have been formed by communities that have united to manage and benefit from wildlife and other natural ressources. However, communities’ livelihoods are threatened by erratic rainfall, poor soils, and human–wildlife conflicts. The SWM Project in KaZa is promoting a sustainable use of natural resources, including wildlife and fisheries, by the Community conservancies. It is also developing alternative sources of proteins, such as livestock husbandry and aquaculture. The project is being implemented by CIRAD in coordination with the governments of both Zambia and Zimbabwe. The Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Programme is a seven-year (2018–2024) international initiative to improve the conservation and sustainable use of wildlife in forest, savannah and wetland ecosystems. The SWM Programme is an Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States (OACPS) initiative, which is funded by the European Union, with co-funding from the French Facility for Global Environment (FFEM) and the French Development Agency (AFD). The SWM Programme is being implemented by a dynamic consortium of four partners with expertise in wildlife conservation and food security. These are the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the French Agricultural Research Centre for International Development (CIRAD), the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) and the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS).

Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureSpatial planning to ensure future coexistence between wildlife and people 2023
Also available in:
No results found.This case study highlights Ecoexist Trust's efforts in Botswana's Okavango Panhandle to foster coexistence between people and elephants. The region faces conflicts due to shared space between 35,000 people and 20,000 elephants. Ecoexist employs a holistic approach, conducting research to identify critical elephant pathways and overlap with human activities. They collaborated with land authorities to develop the Land Use Conflict Information Strategy (LUCIS), strategically mapping agricultural areas away from frequent elephant movement paths. LUCIS helps allocate land effectively, preventing conflicts and supporting farmers in protecting fields. Trust-building and ongoing research were crucial to success. Ecoexist engaged stakeholders to incorporate preferences in land allocation. Positive outcomes include identifying suitable agricultural areas and scaling up the approach to other regions. Challenges include government staff turnover and adaptability to different contexts. Overall, Ecoexist's spatial planning approach promotes coexistence, reduces conflicts, and supports communities in the Okavango Panhandle.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookLes produits forestiers non-ligneux - De la restauration des terres à la génération de revenus 2018
Also available in:
ACD est un projet qui promeut une approche de restauration communautaire des terres tout au long de la filière (en partant de la graine à semer, jusqu’au produit final) pour plusieurs produits forestiers non-ligneux (PFNL) ayant une grande importance économique, et ce dans huit pays en Afrique, dans les Caraïbes et dans le Pacifique (le Burkina Faso, l’Ethiopie, les îles Fidji, la Gambie, Haïti, le Niger, le Nigéria et le Sénégal). Certains de ces produits sont d'une importance particulière car leurs chaînes de valeur présentent un potentiel de développment dans toute la zone de l'Initiative de la Grande Muraille Verte pour le Sahara et le Sahel. Cette publication présente cinq de ces filières importantes de PFNL - la gomme arabique, le miel, le fourrage, l’huile de Balanites et les semences et les plants pour la restauration des terres - dans six pays des zones arides africaines. Elle décrit comment ACD les appuie tout au long de la chaîne de valeur, de la restauration des terres en utilisant des espèces ciblées, à la récolte, la transformation et la commercialisation.
