1% for Africa WORKING to ENSURE WILDLIFE and WILD LANDS THRIVE in MODERN AFRICA 1% for Africa WORKING TO ENSURE WILDLIFE AND WILD LANDS THRIVE IN MODERN AFRICA Craft a partnership between Africa’s leading conservation organization and its premier safari outfi tter, and you get exclusive and authentic travel opportunities that produce positive impacts on Africa’s wildlife, its wild lands and communities. Together we have constructed a multi-faceted approach that ensures conservation and travel strategies work for both Africa’s wildlife and the people. AWF was founded in 1961 by far-sighted individuals who recognized that conservation in Africa would only succeed if it was led by Africans. For nearly 60 years AWF has focused exclusively on Africa, protected endangered species and critical habitat, supported conservation enterprises and African communities, and equipped hundreds of African nationals to be an articulate and passionate voice for conservation. Bushtracks Expeditions was founded by the Tett family in 1989; their African heritage goes back six generations. For over 30 years they have focused on building Africa’s premier safari outfi tter, and developing a solid reputation for authentic safari experiences. When you travel on a Bushtracks-AWF safari, it’s planned by people who are closely connected to the continent’s wildlife and wild lands, it’s safari camps and guides, and AWF’s conservation and community projects. You’ll explore wild places we know intimately - natural habitats with safari lodges set in the best wildlife locations, and true to African traditions and sustainable practices. You’ll meet Africans who have a passion for wildlife, a dedication to conservation, and a devotion to sharing Africa’s magic. And 1% of your safari cost will go to AWF, to help ensure wildlife and wild lands thrive in modern Africa. 4 AFRICAN SAFARIS | AFRICAN WILDLIFE FOUNDATION & BUSHTRACKS Table of Contents 06 Safari Leaders 08 KENYA: The Heart of Kenya 10 UGANDA: Great Apes & Big Game Safari 12 NAMIBIA: Flying Safari 14 ZIMBABWE & ZAMBIA: Spectacular Zimbabwe & Zambia 16 ETHIOPIA: The Best of Ethiopia 18 AWF Programs 20 How to Join Us PHOTO CREDITS Front Cover Gillian Lloyd / Alamy Stock Photo Page 2 Leopard, Angama Mara; Page 4 Lost Horizon Images / Alamy Stock Photo Page 6 Qorokwe, Okavango Delta Page 8 Cheetah, Saruni, Masai Mara; Saruni Page 9 Governors Camp, Walking, Masai Mara; Little Governors Page 10 Gorilla, Craig Sholley, Kidepo Valley Page 11 Bwindi Impenetrable Forest; Murchison Falls Page 12 Rhino, Damaraland, Desert Rhino Camp, Wilderness Safaris Page 13 Damaraland Camp, Rock art, Damaraland Page 14 Ruckomechi Camp, Mana Pools; Victoria Falls, Islands of Siankaba Page 15 Ruckomechi Camp, Mana Pools; Canoeing, Dana Allen, Mana Pools Page 16 Limalimo Lodge, Simien Mountains; Lalibela, Ethiopia, Saint George Page 17 Tom Broadhurst; wolf Page 18 Craig Sholley, gorillas Page 20 Wilderness Safaris, Sossusvlei Page 22 BIOSPHOTO / Alamy Stock Photo Back Page Elephant Watch Camp, Samburu 800.995.8689 | BUSHTRACKS.COM 5 Safari Leader Profiles 6 AFRICAN SAFARIS | AFRICAN WILDLIFE FOUNDATION & BUSHTRACKS Craig R.

  • Showcasing Elephant Management in Zimbabwe
    Original language: English CoP18 Inf. 32 CONVENTION ON INTERNATIONAL TRADE IN ENDANGERED SPECIES OF WILD FAUNA AND FLORA ____________________ Eighteenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties Geneva (Switzerland), 17-28 August 2019 SHOWCASING IMPLEMENTATION OF ZIMBABWE’S NATIONAL ELEPHANT MANAGEMENT PLAN (2015-2020) AND ITS NATIONAL ACTION PLAN 1. This document has been submitted by Zimbabwe* in relation to proposal CoP18 Prop. 11 and agenda items 17 and 69. 2. In January 2016, Zimbabwe adopted its National Elephant Management Plan (2015-2020) – EMP, following a series of participatory National and Regional workshops in elephant range areas started in 2014. This document shows the implementation progresses of the EMP achieved since its inception in 2016. 3. It is an ambitious plan that includes the cooperation of all stakeholders to achieve its aims. The provision in the plan to establish regional elephant management committees that will include representative from the range of stakeholders that have a strong interest in elephant conservation is a major step in devolution of responsibility. 4. The Implementation of the action plan requires more human and financial resources than are currently available for the conservation and management of elephant in Zimbabwe. It requires resources to cover the ground effectively and at a rough estimate of at least $12,000,000 per annum in operational budget to protect the nearly 66,000 km2 of elephant range (inside and outside Protected Areas) in the country. This estimate is based on the rule of thumb of $200 per km2. Some of these resources are mobilized through Global Environment Facility (GEF) and European Union (EU) funded projects being implemented in Zimbabwe as well as a number of stakeholders including WWF, Frankfurt Zoological Society, Conservation Force, The Tashinga Initiative, Zambezi Society, African Wildlife Fund and private sector including hunting and photographic operators.

Since those humble beginnings the centre has grown into a recognised wildlife rescue, rehabilitation and release centre with an open door policy to all wildlife species. The sanctuary cares not only for primates but also rare and endangered species such as pangolins and vultures, as well as the not to be forgotten smaller creatures like hedgehogs and owls.

Poverty in the Gwai Forest Reserve, Zimbabwe: 1880-1953* Vimbai Chaumba Kwashirai ntroduction h e subject of poverty in Zimbabwe’s forest sector has not received any scrutiny so far in the existing his- torical literature. h is study examines the problem of poverty in the Gwai Forest Reserve (GFR) of North- Western Matabeleland, Zimbabwe, from 1880-1953. h e region was endowed with the largest commercial I and most important indigenous hardwood forests in the country, and indeed in the whole of Southern Africa. h e Nde- bele people call these forests gusu. h ey are also known as “Zambezi teak woodland” or “Baikiea forests”. Specii cally, the present study explores the signii cance of forest rules and regulations in causing poverty among Africans. I argue that white forest oi cials in the GFR were ruthless in controlling African access to land and forest products like timber, i rewood and grass. I also show that, in cahoots with commercial timber loggers, foresters exploited Africans resi- dent in the forest zone under appalling working conditions of over- work and low wages. h e interests of foresters and timber merchants on one hand, and those of the Native Department, on the other, clashed over Africans and forestry resources, fracturing colonial state power as settlers, oi cials and imperial scientists often failed to resolve dif erences between economic sectors, departments and individuals within the colony.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Dissertations - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract Approximately one quarter of Zimbabwean adults left their country of birth during the past twenty years. These sojourners are increasingly dispersed as tightening immigration regimes in preferred destinations and fluctuating global opportunities lead them to places with fewer historical links to Zimbabwe. This dispersive process fractures many families between multiple international locations. Nevertheless, the idea of family remains centrally important to diasporans, who work with relatives around the world to care for children and elders, to acquire important documents like passports, and to prepare for an eventual return home. Following from performative and relational theorizations of kinship, this dissertation argues that collaborative projects are crucibles in which families are forged and reconfigured. This exploration of how dispersion shapes family life deploys three analytical lenses: history, space and technology. Contemporary journeys are historically linked to a century of dispossession and labor-migration in Southern Africa. Colonial governments used onerous “bioinformational regimes” to subjugate Africans and profit from their labor.
