NWCF Community Rapid Response Team meeting
The Nsefu Wildlife Community Rapid Response Team is a special group designated to respond to reported human/wildlife conflict events in the area.
The photos below are from the Rapid Response Awareness meeting held on July 19th at the Shalireni Village Action Group (VAG).
The meeting was held to make the community aware of this program, so that when there's a problem, the local people can call on them to help.
The program, even though it's just been created, has already created a sense of hope and security when it comes to human/wildlife conflict!
New Biofencing (Beekeeping)!
Team member installing biofencing
On Monday (7/21), team Nsefu Wildlife spent the day installing new biofencing at a new site. This site was picked after extensive consultation and engagement with local community members. They pointed out that this area is a hotspot for elephants to invade crops.
This is an extension to and already existing bio fence, but this portion of the fence will be using metal poles to ensure that we don't cause further deforestation in the region.
We're hoping that the fencing will be completed by the following week, and our goal is to install 400 meters of fencing, which will secure 10 maize (corn) fields of various households.
The beehives boxes will be made of high quality hardwood, which is termite proof.
More updates to come.

The 2025 Nsefu Wildlife Soccer Tournament
The Nsefu Wildlife Conservation Foundation (NWCF) Soccer Tournament is an annual event that brings together community members to watch football games among clubs based in the Nsefu Chiefdom area of operation.
These clubs cater to both boys and girls, and currently, we have 12 boys teams and 8 girls teams.
The winners will be awarded at a conservation ceremony, which will be held in mid-August.
This tournament is primarily intended to keep boys away from poaching and any illicit activities that can lead them into being in conflict with the law.
This also brings out the community members and provides family friendly entertainment.
Before the start of each game, a conservation briefing is done by the NWCF staff to ensure the purpose of the tournament is explained and adhered to by all members.

On the Front Lines of Conservation in Zambia!
In the heart of Zambia’s NSEFU sector, Rangers are putting their lives on the line to stop poaching. Each day, they navigate harsh, unforgiving terrain—where the sun scorches gear to the bone and rains turn the earth to quicksand.
Yet, they press on - For wildlife conservation and protecting their home.
These rangers need proper equipment to do their work safely and effectively: durable footwear, reliable rain gear, and the tools to withstand the elements.
Small comforts in the field make the difference between survival and burnout.
Your support can put these essentials in their hands.
