The Government of\u00a0Zambia<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0and African Parks<\/strong> have signed a Memorandum of Understanding which will see the implementation of a<\/p>\n

Priority Support Plan for the protection of Kafue National Park<\/h3>\n

Signed on Thursday 4th<\/sup>\u00a0February, the Priority Support Plan will increase technical and financial support for Kafue worth\u00a0US $3 million<\/span>\u00a0over a period of 12 months.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Minister of Tourism and Arts Honourable, Hon. Ronald K. Chitotela<\/strong>, said the MoU would help\u00a0Zambia<\/span>\u00a0to realize the potential of the Kafue National Park which is\u00a0Zambia’s<\/span>\u00a0prime tourist destination and an internationally renowned wildlife sanctuary.<\/p>\n

“It is essential that we invest in the protection of our wildlife and enhance the infrastructure for tourism.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Having worked together for 18 years, we believe that African Parks is a partner who can help us to actualize the park’s potential in contributing to the economy and the wellbeing of our people,” the Minister said.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Priority Support Plan will see the collaboration between Department of National Parks and Wildlife<\/strong> (DNPW) and African Parks<\/strong> implement activities in key priority areas over the ensuing 12 months, while the parties negotiate for a long-term agreement. The primary objectives include improving critical infrastructure, supporting the DNPW’s law enforcement efforts and conducting conservation baseline studies.<\/p>\n

African Parks’ CEO\u00a0Peter Fearnhead<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0said:<\/p>\n

“Kafue National Park is one of\u00a0Africa’s<\/span>\u00a0best known protected areas and one of the ten largest on the African continent…”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“We look forward to supporting the Zambian Government’s vision to conserve this extremely precious resource and to optimise its long-term social, economic and ecological benefits”.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Kafue National Park is situated in the world’s largest transfrontier conservation area, the Kavango Zambezi (KAZA TFCA), which straddles the boundaries of five countries, forming one cross-border ecosystem the size of\u00a0France<\/span>. Kafue’s Priority Support Plan will be funded through Dutch Postcode Lottery’s dreamfund grant, a\u00a016.9 million Euro<\/span><\/a>\u00a0contribution awarded to the World Wide Fund for Nature, African Parks and Peace Parks Foundation to assist KAZA partner states in securing the TFCA through integrated initiatives.<\/p>\n

Kafue is\u00a0Zambia’s<\/span>\u00a0largest wildlife sanctuary, covering 22,400km2<\/sup>\u00a0of intact savannah and a network of water channels dominated by the Kafue River. It represents one of the last expansive tracts of the iconic Zambezian ecoregion, providing a singular opportunity to conserve significant populations of savannah wildlife, including elephants, large predators and 21 species of antelope \u2013 the highest diversity of antelope on the continent. \u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
