AFRICAN ELEPHANT CONSERVATION The purpose of this project is to maintain anti-poaching pressure to conserve Zambias largest elephant population. Estimated at around 100,000 elephants in the 1970s, the Luangwa Valley still contains Zambias largest population of elephants, with around 14,000 individuals surviving across a complex of protected areas, game management areas, and village lands. Additionally, the Luangwa Valley is home to Zambias only population of black rhino. This project works with the Government of Zambia to support an anti-poaching presence in North Luangwa National Park, home to around 4,500 elephants, where sustained long-term efforts have reduced poaching in the park. Poaching incidents and other signs of illegal activities continue to increase in adjacent areas, however, and the elephant population is considered at risk of an escalation in illegal killing if support for anti-poaching efforts were to decrease. Specific activities include: (1) operational support for anti-poaching units, including patrols, rations, equipment, and deployment vehicles; and (2) park infrastructure development and maintenance, including road repairs and fire management.
Strategic law enforcement and effective planning for black rhino conservation in North Luangwa National Park, Zambia This grant supports ongoing expenses for monitoring, management, and protection of North Luangwas reintroduced population of southern black rhinos.

Strengthening Law Enforcement Efforts in the Lower Zambezi, Zambia The Lower Zambezi National Park (LZNP) in southern Zambia forms part of the greater Lower Zambezi Valley system, spanning across Zambia, Zimbabwe and Mozambique, which was formerly a population stronghold for elephants. In 2016, 107 elephants were poached for their ivory in the LZNP and surrounding hunting blocks. In order to combat poaching, funds are requested to supporting the Dog Unit and the Special Response Unit, operational expenses for foot patrols by Department of National Parks and Wildlife and community scout teams, and aerial surveillance by Conservation Lower Zambezi, supporting a technical advisor and a legal assistant to the judiciary (in partnership with Zambias Wildlife Crime Prevention Project) and supporting meetings between Zambian and Zimbabwean park officials regarding transborder poaching and trafficking of the shared elephants of Lower Zambezi and Mana Pools.
Securing the greater North Luangwa landscape for the protection of black rhinos (Diceros bicornis minor) in North Luangwa National Park, Zambia This proposal will provide ongoing support the rhino reintroduction of the southern black rhino (Diceros bicornis minor) subspecies to Zambia. In the past, Zambia had the highest number of rhinos of any African country, but they were poached to extinction in the 1990s. Throughout the early 2000s, USFWS sponsored efforts to restore security to North Luangwa National Park (NLNP) in eastern Zambia. The first rhinos were released in NLNP in 2003, and the population has increased steadily with no poaching in the past 15 years. Funds this year will support core operations including the construction of a new, modernized security operations room, road improvement within the secure area, and operating expenses for aerial and ground based monitoring and anti-poaching patrols.
