Active Beehive - Nsefu Wildlife's Beekeeping Program
We now have six occupied beehives!
Nsefu Wildlife's Beekeeping Program is well under way. We now have six occupied beehives.
Giving farmers an alternative to poaching is another major component of the Nsefu Wildlife Conservation Foundation's mission. Farmer's trying to generate income from crops grown on small plots of land can be justifiably upset when crop raiding elephants encroach upon their farms.

The predictions about the coronavirus catastrophe grow more ominous by the day, and despite the best efforts of countries like Australia in enacting emergency action plans to contain the disease, its spread continues at a worrying rate. Even the World Health Organisation forecasts a world of pain. It says the virus poses a greater global threat than terrorism.
That’s bad enough, but medical experts tell 60 MINUTES it’s actually even more terrifying. Professor Gabriel Leung, who led the fight against the SARS virus, believes 60 per cent of the world’s population could become infected with COVID-19 and that up to 45 million people might die from it.
For this story, Liam Bartlett has travelled to Hong Kong and Thailand to find out the likely cause of the disease, as well as the latest ongoing efforts to combat it. At all times he and his crew have followed medical advice and undertaken strict protocols to limit their exposure to potential danger.

Missing link in coronavirus jump from bats to humans could be pangolins, not snakes
The anteater-like animals called pangolins may be the missing link for SARS-CoV-2 transmission between bats and humans
As scientists scramble to learn more about the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, two recent studies of the virus' genome reached controversial conclusions: namely, that snakes are intermediate hosts of the new virus, and that a key coronavirus protein shares 'uncanny similarities' with an HIV-1 protein.
Now, a study refutes both ideas and suggests that scaly, anteater-like animals called pangolins are the missing link for SARS-CoV-2 transmission between bats and humans.

Rhino deaths in Zambia!
A tragedy of this magnitude should have NEVER happened!
On Feb. 26th, a mother and baby white rhinos were killed when a truck hit them in the Mosi-oa-Tunya national park in Livingstone. The truck with Namibian registration numbers hit the animals on the Livingstone-Kazungula road which passes through the national park. Nsefu Wildlife is supporting the critical importance of the placement of speed bumps in parks with proper signage indicating that the roads have wildlife crossings.
A tragedy of this magnitude should have NEVER happened and we are trying to spread the awareness of these safety measures that need to be put in place as soon as possible. With rhinos facing incredible pressure from poaching and trafficking, any death is unacceptable.
