Postcode Lottery in the UK has donated R18.9 million (US$1.1 million) to the International Fund for Animal Welfare and Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority (ZimParks) to support conservation efforts in Hwange National Park.
The money will fund wildlife rescue efforts, enhance ranger capacity and secure critical wildlife migration routes in the Hwange-Matetsi-Zambezi landscape.
“We are grateful to our partners for this support, which we believe will help us safeguard our treasured wildlife resource and build resilience for wildlife, habitats and the people coexisting with wildlife in the greater Hwange ecosystem, in line with Zimbabwe’s national development agenda,” said Edson Gandiwa, Director-General of ZimParks.
