context_page_description: The African Wildlife Foundation, is the leading international conservation organization focused exclusively on Africa's wildlife and wild lands.
  AWF's programs and conservation strategies are designed to protect the wildlife and wild lands of Africa and ensure a more sustainable future for Africa's people. AWF protects Africa's wildlife, its wild lands, and its natural resources.
  Since its inception in 1961, the organization has protected endangered species and land, promoted conservation enterprises that benefit local African communities, and trained hundreds of African nationals in conservation—all to ensure the survival of Africa's unparalleled wildlife heritage.
context_section_description: The floodplains of the Zambezi River are surrounded by a mosaic of miombo and mopane woodlands and grasslands that include important wildlife migration corridors.
  The Victoria Falls, the largest in the world, are between Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park in Zambia and Victoria Falls National Park in Zimbabwe.
  The Falls and surrounding area are designated a World Heritage Site.
  However, the environment is threatened by growing and haphazard development of tourism, and lack of funding to the park authorities.
  The AWF has established the 160,000 acres (65,000 ha) Sekute Conservation Area in this region in partnership with the Sekute Chiefdom, holding two elephant corridors.
  AWF helped wildlife authorities settle four new white rhinos in Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park in Zambia, joining the last surviving white rhino in the country, a bull.
  On 17 January 2011 it was reported that two of the female white rhinos had given birth to calves, which seemed healthy.
  The area is also home to endangered black rhinos.
  In 2011 a cluster of modern new buildings for the Lupani community school were opened in Kazungula, built by the AWF at a cost of US$250,000.
  The new school has six classrooms, offices and five teachers' houses with three bedrooms each.
