Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

Bushlife Conservancy strives to protect endangered species within the Mana Pools and Zambezi Valley areas of Zimbabwe from human threat. Enforcement of anti-poaching efforts and community education projects ensures a future in which the area's elephants, pangolins, painted dogs, and other wildlife flourish without risk of human-caused extinction.

  • No elephants were poached in Mana Pools National Park during the year. All collared elephants were protected from legal hunters when they wandered into adjacent hunting concessions. Funding was provided for the following activities conducted in Mana Pools and the surrounding Zambezi Valley of Zimbabwe: (1) a permanent ranger station was constructed at the southern boundary of Mana Pools in Chitangazuva; (2) children's conservation clubs were established in eleven schools located in the communities adjacent to the National Park; (3) a notorious elephant poacher who was on the most wanted list for many years was arrested and sentenced to 18 years in jail due to a tip received through our paid informant system; (4) three secondhand vehicles were purchased for use in anti-poaching work; (5) a used vehicle was purchased for use by the community liaison officer working along the southern boundary of the National Park; (6) operating costs were paid for deployment of Zimparks rangers; and (7) wages and operating costs were paid for a team of scouts to augment coverage by Zimparks rangers.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
