Zambesia Conservation Alliance

W4Life

CONGRATULATIONS NICK on completing your journey of 850km+ around Lake Kariba to support Conservation and its link to Mental Health.

The Zambesia Conservation Alliance (ZCA) exists to drive awareness through creative and impactful movements that directly connect to conservation. We’re here to provide a platform for the voices and efforts of those tirelessly working for wildlife on the ground in Africa.

It is our hope that these movements will directly and profoundly benefit those on the front-line championing conservation here in Africa. As their needs are increasingly more real than ever, so is their need for enhanced supporters, allies and patrons.

TOURISM IMPACT

Visitors have flocked in great numbers to witness the wonders of our country.

Tourism to Africa generates billions of dollars each year and secures millions of livelihoods.

It is an instrumental factor in contending with the growing threats to Africa’s great wildlife and the vast areas they inhabit.

The Tipping Point

In just a few short months, Covid-19 has already begun to tip the scales significantly.

Tourist dollars have been the bulk contributor towards a diverse network of conservation initiatives.

In our current world climate, these fundamental monetary contributions have ceased.

A Way Forward

We must find new avenues to influence the way forward through these unknown territories, by devising creative strategies with lasting impact.

By joining together in unique initiatives that are both enjoyable for participants and transformative for the vast conservation + tourism industry in Africa, we can find a way forward.

The inclusive movement for wildlife + habitat conservation in Africa, acting as an umbrella for uniquely engaging intiatives .

A movement to bring sport + conservation together. Check out some of the initiatives we have put together to support the cause.

HOW WE WORK.

Through specific movements, campaigns and funding initiatives we collect donor contributions that are then earmarked for redistribution to deserving conservation initiatives across the Zambesia region.

WHO DRIVES US.

The ZCA was founded by passionate individuals based in Victoria Falls, the heart of the Zambesia region. The founders have been involved in the Safari Industry in Africa for more than 20 years.

HOW WE COLLECT FUNDS.

Individuals and organizations from around the world transfer their funds through a protected payment platform or by bank transfer into the ZCA trust account. Whether $5 or $5000, every donation matters.

HOW WE DISTRIBUTE.

The ZCA works with a number of wildlife trusts and conservation initiatives on the ground in Zambesia and beyond. We are always looking to support new deserving initiatives. If you feel your organisation qualifies, join the ZCA tribe.
