Successfully reintroducing apex predators aside, our teams in the Nsumbu program do a pretty outstanding conservation job in general. In 2024 the IUCN put Nsumbu NP on their Greenlist! The list recognizes the most sustainable and efficient conservation efforts across the globe. It is a testament to the dedication and hard work of the conservation partnerships between our national and local partners and the FZS teams working together to recover the Nsumbu National Park ecosystem over the past seven years.

#review2024 – This year, our teams have secured long-term funding for the Manu and Purús National Parks in Peru 🇵🇪 provided by the Legacy Landscapes Fund. This is a huge milestone for this extraordinary landscape: Together, Manu and Alto Purús in Peru are larger than Switzerland and world champion in biodiversity. The Manu National Park in Peru stretches from the puna grasslands at over 4,000 meters above sea level to the tropical lowland forests at only 300 meters above sea level. More than 1,000 bird species live in Manu. That is one tenth of all known bird species on earth. The area also provides a remoteness that still allows indigenous groups to live there today in voluntary isolation as hunter-gatherers or semi-nomads. The Manu landscape has has been a long-term FZS project area and will continue to be a focal point of our work in Peru. 🇵🇪 Get to know the world champions of biodiversity and the work of FZS Peru: fzs.org/manu-purus 🇵🇪 You can help us to protect the rainforests of South America. fzs.org/donate

#review2024 – Together, the two people in the photo probably have more field experience than any other two FZS employees combined. In 2024, Elsabe and Hugo van der Westhuizen have embarked on managing the third (!) FZS program in their career. After leading our work in North Luangwa in Zambia, being key architects to establish the Gonarezhou Conservation Trust in Zimbabwe, they now moved on to start the FZS program in Marromeu Nature Reserve in Mozambique 🇲🇿 from scratch. The Marromeu National Reserve close to the Zambesi Delta is about 1,500 km2 in size. It plays a substantial hydrological, biological, and ecological role in the natural functioning of the major river basin and coastal system. Starting a project in Marromeu is part of our strategy to double our conservation impact by 2030. In Marromeu, monitoring and networking are the primary focus at the moment. Understanding the region, its people, the ecological dependencies and challenges are the first steps for successful conservation work. Stay tuned. 👉 Get to know one of Africa’s most important wetlands: fzs.org/marromeu 👉 Support the Marromeu Conservation Project: fzs.org/donate

#review2024 - Evening gown instead of work wear? Yes, that is unusual for us.
