Stand For  Trees

Since 2011, this project has protected the home of elephants, cheetahs, and lions; removed over 600 snares; and supported healthcare, clean water, schooling, conservation agriculture, community gardens, beekeeping, and ecotourism.

With limited economic opportunities due to political and economic turbulence, Zimbabwean communities have been forced to delve into their forests for subsistence farming and fuelwood, leading to the loss of more than a third of the country's forest area. Kariba connects four national parks and eight safari reserves, forming a giant biodiversity corridor that protects a majestic forest near the Zimbabwe-Zambia border and numerous vulnerable and endangered species on the southern shores of Lake Kariba. At 785,000 hectares, it is one of the largest REDD+ projects by area.
