ABCF Conservation projects

Our mission in 2025 is to protect wildlife and preserve vital ecosystems through ongoing patrols, snare recoveries, poacher arrests, and confiscation of illegal items. Our partnership and collaboration with the Conservation and Wildlife Fund (CWF), Bumi Hills Anti-Poaching Unit (BHAPU), and Conservation Lower Zambezi (CLZ) is advancing our conservation efforts across Hwange National Park, Bumi Hills, and Lower Zambezi National Park.

The Lion Boma and Lion Guardian Projects are vital in protecting livestock, reducing human-wildlife conflict, and preventing retaliatory killings of wild animals. A boma is a cloth material used to cover kraals (wooden livestock pens), preventing predators from seeing the animals inside. The Lion Guardians play an important role in protecting both communities and wildlife by alerting locals to the presence of lions in the area. They also conduct thorough kraal and herd assessments, ensuring livestock enclosures are built to maximize protection and evaluating the health and well-being of the animals.

This year, we will install 20 additional lion bomas in communities surrounding our Experiences and employ full-time lion guardians to work with the community to promote conservation.
