FeedbackAnyone with information to contact any nearest Police Station.
The impact of the pandemic has increased wildlife poaching around Zimbabwe’s national parks, as some people who lost their jobs hunt the animals for food.
Tinashe Farawo, the spokesman of the Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority, says the efforts of such conservation groups are helping to fight poaching in this wildlife-rich country.
Anti-poaching organizations, including Damien Mander’s Akashinga (The Brave Ones) project, a squad of vegan, women rangers have been formed and Zimbabwe hopes the organisations will help eliminate poaching entirely.
