White-backed Vulture in flight, photographed in Vi White-backed Vulture in flight, photographed in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe.
Most of the 11 vulture species occuring in Africa, are critically threatened and declining in their populations. In 2018, the IUCN estimated, that White-backed Vultures have a total population of 270,000 individuals.
Zambia has also experienced severe declines in vulture numbers.
In order to get a better understanding of how Zambian vultures move, how many there are, to get insight into their ecology and also to better protect them, about 50 birds have been equipped with satellite tracking units by several organisations / projects since 2017

This bachelor group in particular was photographed in Luambe National Park, where the C4C Fund, its local research organization Nsanga Conservation Zambia, and Luambe Camp and Conservation @luambecamp run a research project to estimate population size and investigate social relationships of the endemic sub-species Thornicroft Giraffe.

Of all cat species, the leopard has by far the lar Of all cat species, the leopard has by far the largest distribution range, originally covering 35 million square kilometres, stretching from Africa, to south-east and southern Asia 🐆
The Luangwa Valley in eastern Zambia is home to one of the largest leopard populations in the country. Tourism operators market the valley as the “valley of the leopard” 🌱
Based on a telemetry study, it was shown that a mother leopard resident in Luambe National Park, in the heart of the valley, had the smallest territory size ever recorded for African leopards, at 3 km²

The boreholes were built by @makolekole_drilling who are based in Mfuwe.
This year, we aim to continue supporting the surrounding communities around Luambe National Park, among other things by funding the construction of further boreholes and pumps.

The Luangwa Valley in eastern Zambia holds the lar The Luangwa Valley in eastern Zambia holds the largest population of Hippos in the world. During the high dry season, it is not rare to see several hundred individuals squeezing in to the remaining water puddles 🦛🌊
Hippos are relatively closely related to whales and the majority of their communication is done in infrasonic frequencies.

During the past days, one of the White-backed Vult During the past days, one of the White-backed Vultures tagged in Bangweulu Wetlands made its way down to South Africa. In total, the bird has now covered more than 2100 km passing through Zambia 🇿🇲, Namibia 🇳🇦, Botswana 🇧🇼 until reaching South Africa 🇿🇦
This individual alone underlines the importance of transboundary collaborations when it comes to vulture conservation.
We look forward to seeing where this bird will settle after its long journey! 🗺️
The bird was tagged through the Zambian Vulture Conservation Program, a joint project between the Caring For Conservation Fund, BirdWatch Zambia and the Endangered Wildlife Trust.

MFM aims to save many important breeding colonies of seabirds on Marion Island by eradicating invasive mice that have adapted to feeding on seabird chicks 🌊🐁

The Thornicroft or Luangwa Giraffe (Giraffa t. tho The Thornicroft or Luangwa Giraffe (Giraffa t. thornicrofti) is a sub-species of Giraffe endemic to the Luangwa Valley in Zambia 🦒🌴
Giraffes live in loose allocations / fission-fusion social systems meaning that giraffes can be solitary, in pairs, in mixed sex-herds or in bachlor herds, however, the strongest bonds are found in female giraffes.
In the Luangwa, giraffes have an exceptionally diverse diet, feeding on more than 100 different plant items. When feeding within a herd, individuals dont feed on the same source but spread out.
