Nsefu Wildlife Radio!
Nsefu Wildlife Traveling Conservation team members Brighton and Mtukwa were on the RADIO in Mfuwe, Zambia.
Our Nsefu Wildlife team members Brighton and Mtukwa took to the airwaves of Mfuwe, Zambia to talk about conservation, the importance of the wildlife and environment to the region, and the work Nsefu Wildlife is doing in the Nsefu Sector!!! It is critically important to spread awareness in the community about the value and importance of wildlife. Tourism is a MASSIVE part of the economy and everybody wins when we take care of where we live and the animals who live there.
Our Nsefu Wildlife Traveling Conservation Team members cover the sector speaking at schools and villages about conservation and the program is a big success. We spread awareness any way we can...and we are very proud of our team members with the job they did on the radio!!! They are our "Conservation Stars"!!!! Great job Brighton and Mtukwa and Team Nsefu!

Dutch to ban raw ivory sales from 2019
All countries need to ban the import of ivory!
The Netherlands said Monday it will ban all raw ivory sales from next year, as it unveiled the results of a major operation to combat trafficking in endangered animals and plants.
Currently Dutch law permits the sale of raw ivory such as elephant tusks with an EU certificate, provided it entered the country between 1947 and 1990.
