Dear Friends of Nsefu Wildlife,
We hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving surrounded by those you love and we hope your holidays are bright and merry! We are grateful for your friendship and here is to a wonderful 2018!
We wanted to share some amazing news with you as we head into the homestretch of 2017. A very generous and kind anonymous donor has stepped up to help Nsefu Wildlife with a matching tax-deductible donation opportunity for you! They have most generously offered to match up to $10,000 to help protect and preserve endangered and vulnerable African wildlife through our groundbreaking conservation programs in Zambia! That means every dollar you donate will be DOUBLED...up to $10,000! We are very proud to say that with your help, Nsefu Wildlife IS creating long-term change and we are saving animals 365 days a year and we simply can't do this without you. We are exceptionally grateful for our anonymous Nsefu Wildlife donor and we hope that you will think of Nsefu Wildlife for your end of year donations. We have 3 ways for you to donate...it's YOUR choice. We thank you for everything you do and here is to more success in saving elephants, lions, giraffes, and more.
Happy Holidays from your friends at Nsefu Wildife Conservation Foundation (NSEFU.org)!

Find out more about Trump lifting the ban on hunting trophies.
The Trump administration confirmed Thursday it lifted a ban that had prohibited hunters from importing trophies of elephants killed in two African nations, reversing a 2014 rule put in place by the Obama White House.
A spokesperson for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service told NBC News that the agency had “determined that the hunting and management programs for African elephants in Zimbabwe and Zambia will enhance the survival of the species in the wild.” Story by ADAM EDELMAN and KRISTEN WELKER / NBC News

Ranger Report - November 2017
See the latest update from the field!
I would like to report that the three patrol teams recently deployed in our area of operations were successful. The patrol teams removed twenty-eight (28) snares and recovered buffalo meat and three rifles. The members of the patrol teams are happy and ready to work anywhere, anytime to continue these operations.
Your continued support allows us to continue our success. Now, during the rainy season, poaching increases. The roads become impassable. The recent purchase of a boat for our use will make a big difference this year. Thank you for the boat!
