Since 2003, Conservation South Luangwa (CSL) has worked in partnership with Zambia’s Department of National Parks and Wildlife (DNPW) on the frontline of wildlife conservation and human-wildlife conflict mitigation in the South Luangwa Valley. CSL works to protect the 1,400,000 hectares of largely intact wilderness in eastern Zambia that make up the South Luangwa National Park and the surrounding game management areas. CSL practises a multi-faceted approach to wildlife resource management and protection, working in collaboration with DNPW and alongside local partners and stakeholders in the Luangwa ecosystem to implement ground and helicopter patrols, aerial surveillance patrols, sniffer dog detection and tracking activities, wildlife rescues and community veterinary work, and human-wildlife coexistence community programmes.
