South African National Parks forms partnerships to combat poaching and uplift neighboring communities in Zimbabwe and Mozambique.
In the ongoing efforts to curb poaching and snaring of animals within the Zimbabwe and Mozambique borders, South African National Parks is working to create more partnerships with neighbouring countries to provide benefits to communities neighbouring the parks. The Kruger National Park is part of the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park. This park links the Kruger with the Gonarezhou National Park in Zimbabwe and the Limpopo National Park in Mozambique.
He said the issue of food and protein was driving poaching around the area. Sowry said the corridor was part of the Sengwe community’s land near the GNP and is not within the transfrontier conservation area. “The benefit can be jobs, it can be someone owning and running their own little store where they’re selling meat, drinks or whatever to passing tourists.
“I am optimistic that when the benefit comes, they will see the value of wildlife. And when we appeal to them to stop members of the communities coming to set snares, coming to hunt with dogs, that they start policing themselves because they see the value they’re getting out of it.”Meanwhile, at the Kruger’s Makuleke concession in the northern area at Return Africa Pafuri Camp in the Makuleke Contractual Park lies the quietly flowing Luvuvhu River.
