Why is the Zambezi Network needed?

ntil now, there has been no landscape-wide conservation frame- work in the Middle Zambezi Valley that enables all participants to communicate quickly and effectively, identify gaps in vital activities,U track emerging issues, avoid duplication of effort, and source funding.

The Zambezi Network fulfils this need by bringing together a connected “forum of equals” for discussion, planning and activity related to conservation issues. It is designed to include all participants, interests and authorities that play a role in the conservation of the Zambezi Valley and Biosphere Reserve, and will strengthen the trust and synergies between collective conservation and rural development work underway. Collective action leads to collective impact.
