Rebuilding the wildlife sector in a new Zimbabwe - A pre-feasibility study and proposals for action by donors and NGOs
2010 Full Book
A decade ago Zimbabwe was one of the leading countries in wildlife conservation and management. The sector earned over US$ 300 million per year through conservation generated by protected areas belonging to the state, rural community run wildlife management areas and private game ranches and reserves. Sadly most of this has been destroyed or severly damaged within a few years of political lawlessness and corruption led by the Mugabe regime. Wildlife however, has a great ability to recover within a relatively short period of time, provided the natural habitats remain intact, sound protection and wise management can be reintroduced. The formerly thriving wildlife sector can be restored, but to achieve this, a newly established democracy will need the assistance of bilateral and international donors and "hands-on" conservation NGOs.
