Marion Island stands as a beacon of biodiversity i

Marion Island stands as a beacon of biodiversity in the vast expanse of the subantarctic region, boasting one of the world's most significant seabird colonies.
Its shores teem with life, hosting a diverse and thriving population of breeding birds that contribute to the island's global significance 🌊🌍

The island's avian residents, including the majestic wandering albatross and endangered species like the grey-headed albatross, form a vital part of the delicate ecosystem. Their presence on Marion Island not only enriches its natural heritage but also serves as a testament to the island's ecological importance on a global scale.

However, this remarkable ecosystem faces a pressing threat: invasive mice. These tiny invaders have multiplied rapidly, posing a grave danger to Marion Island's avian inhabitants. The mice prey on bird eggs and chicks, disrupting the breeding cycles of countless species and endangering the delicate balance of the island's ecosystem.

In response to this critical challenge, the Mouse Free Marion Project has emerged as a beacon of hope. This pioneering initiative aims to eradicate the invasive mouse population from Marion Island, safeguarding its unique biodiversity and restoring balance to its ecosystem.

The Mouse Free Marion Project has garnered support from organizations like the Caring for Conservation Fund, recognizing the urgency and importance of preserving Marion Island's natural heritage. Through innovative strategies and collaborative efforts, the project seeks to protect the island's seabird colonies and ensure a sustainable future for generations to come.

Together, we can make Marion Island a haven free from invasive threats, preserving its status as a global treasure and sanctuary for seabirds worldwide.

🐒 Exciting Update from Luambe National Park, Za

🐒 Exciting Update from Luambe National Park, Zambia!
Our 2023 research project on Lesser Galagos (Galago moholi) is in full swing. 🌿 We're on a mission to uncover whether the local Galago population showcases any distinctive characteristics compared to their counterparts outside the valley and Zambia.

👉 Using an innovative, non-invasive method, we collected saliva samples by placing sugar-dipped strings around their habitat. This technique ensures stress-free sampling, allowing us to gather genetic material without impacting the well-being of these adorable creatures. 🍭

🔊 Adding a symphony of sounds to our study, we strategically positioned 13 audio recorders to capture the vocalizations of the Luambe Lesser Galagos. We aim to unravel unique calls or communication patterns that might set this population apart. 🎙️

🌿 The park hosts a substantial population, with nearly 40 individuals thriving in approximately 30 hectares. This demographic richness provides us with a robust sample to explore the dynamics of this captivating species within the Luambe ecosystem.

🧬 As we eagerly await the results, our dedicated team is meticulously analyzing the collected samples, unraveling the genetic structures, and tuning into the nuances of their vocal repertoire. Stay tuned for captivating insights into the world of Luambe's Lesser Galagos! 🌍📢

Meet Stephen Nkatha, Penius Lungu, and Peter Zimba

Meet Stephen Nkatha, Penius Lungu, and Peter Zimba, integral members of Nsanga Conservation Zambia Ltd., an organization operating under the auspices of C4C in Zambia.

Nsanga Conservation Zambia is dedicated to conservation, research, and community engagement, with a current emphasis on activities within Luambe National Park in the Eastern Province of Zambia.

During their academic years, Stephen, Penius, and Peter were actively involved in the conservation club scheme initiated by the Chitungulu Foundation, a non-governmental organization situated in the Chitungulu Community, just north of Luambe National Park. The collaborative efforts between Nsanga and the Chitungulu Foundation aim to fortify the Chitungulu Community while fostering awareness and acceptance of conservation initiatives.

Stephen, having transitioned from his early involvement in the conservation club, played a pivotal role in Nsanga's operations in 2023. His contributions extend beyond supporting diverse research projects to include spearheading community education endeavors and addressing human-wildlife conflicts.

Meanwhile, Penius and Peter are entrusted with the management of the Nsanga Conservation Campsite. Their adept leadership ensures the seamless functioning of this critical hub within Nsanga's comprehensive approach.

Without the dedication and expertise of Stephen, Penius and Peter, the effective execution of Nsanga Conservation Zambia's mission in Luambe National Park would be significantly compromised, underscoring the indispensable role each team member plays in the organization's transformative endeavors.

Access to clean water is a fundamental human right

Access to clean water is a fundamental human right but often represents a major challenge in many African communities 🌍🚰
It means improved health, reduced waterborne diseases, a decrease in Human-Wildlife Conflicts, and enhanced overall well-being for the community.

The Chitungulu Chiefdom, situated just north of Luambe National Park in Zambia, is amongst the least developed areas in the Luangwa Valley. The majority of families rely on water from natural or dug-out waterholes - shared with wildlife like Elephants, Monkeys, and Antelopes 🐘🐒🐾
Some even get their drinking and washing water out of the Luangwa River. This poses a major health risk but also significantly raises the threat of Human-Wildlife Encounters.

Because of this, the Caring For Conservation Fund as well as Luambe Conservation have been funding the creation of dozens of boreholes to facilitate the community with safe and clean water. In 2023, an additional four boreholes were constructed in specific areas. We thank our partners, Makolekole Drilling.

Support our work today and help elevate the living standards of the Chitungulu Community.🌱🌍

This is ZA05 - a sub-adult White-backed Vulture (Gyps africanus) tagged in Liuwa Plain National Park, in Zambia, on the 15th of July 2023 🍃🌍

It seems that Liuwa Plain National Park wasn't ZA05's favorite place as the young female decided to spend extensive time in the "KAZA area" -
the Kavango–Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area - before flying all the way south to South Africa where it still stays now.

In total, the bird has moved over 26.000 km in the past 4 months ✈️.

The vulture was tagged through the Zambian Vulture Conservation Program - a joint project between the Caring For Conservation Fund, BirdWatch Zambia @birdwatch_zambia and the Endangered Wildlife Trust @the_ewt and the Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research @leibnizizw

The Caring For Conservation Fund has been able to

The Caring For Conservation Fund has been able to fund and facilitate community game drives with local schools in the Chitungulu Village, north of Luambe National Park for several years.🌿🦁

This initiative, in collaboration with Nsanga Conservation Zambia and Luambe Camp and Conservation, has been a resounding success!

It's all about educating and empowering the local youth about their environment, animals, and conservation. Through community game drives, we are nurturing the next generation of environmental caretakers. Involving the community ensures a sense of ownership and pride in their natural heritage. Furthermore, knowledge is key to protecting the rich diversity of life in Luambe National Park and the adjacent Game Management Areas.
The Luangwa Valley is a unique place where vast wild landscapes are still intact - It is important to keep it that way!

The Thornicroft or Luangwa Giraffe (Giraffa tippel

The Thornicroft or Luangwa Giraffe (Giraffa tippelskirchi thornicrofti) is endemic to the Luangwa Valley in eastern Zambia 🦒

The Caring For Conservation Fund and its Zambian organization Nsanga Conservation Zambia Ltd. have been surveying the giraffe population in Luambe National Park for many years.

Our conservation work in Luambe National Park started in 2014 when there were no giraffes at all. Over the past years, more and more individuals came from the south. Today we have a healthy breeding population with more than 53 individuals that have been recorded over the past years. We look forward to further investigating the interesting dynamics of giraffes in Luambe National Park and its surrounding areas.

This year, the giraffe surveys were supported by @jasonsavagephotography and @amakali.conservation. Photo by @mvxwell7
