Victoria Falls Wildlife Trust believes a holistic approach to conservation is necessary to protect southern Africa’s majestic wildlife. We employ best science, community participation, and visionary and practical management in our anti-poaching efforts, wildlife conservation, rescue and rehabilitation, human-wildlife conflict mitigation, and research to prevent the spread of zoonotic diseases. We’re synergistically stewarding a culture of coexistence with wildlife throughout the region among local communities, NGOs, wildlife agencies and others.
