Conservation South Luangwa Logo Conservation South Luangwa is a non-profit. community based organization, committed to the conservation of the local wildlife and natural resources of the South Luangwa National Park and surrounding GMAs.

Conservation South Luangwa has used funds provided by the Elephant Charge to support their annual Fun Run Day which promotes conservation in the communities surrounding the South Luangwa National Park and has over 3,000 people attend each year. Funds are also used to support snare removal and anti-poaching patrols.

Conservation South Luangwa has been provided 14 grants by the Elephant Charge totalling $158,017.

  • $13,080 - Fuchs Elephant Charge 2023 - EC funding supports a combination of HEC mitigation activities alongside operational costs and salaries which are historically difficult to fundraise for. Includes: salary for Senior HWC Field Officer, extending the successful 'smelly fence' program, purchase a solar fence voltage tester to support the 12 km of solar fencing in place, expand alternative livelihoods into ginger growing, support operational costs and co fund the annual Conservation Fun Run day (6000+ community members).
  • $18,387 - Fuchs Elephant Charge 2022 - Human-Wildlife Conflict (HWC) salaries, mitigations, operations; Community Fun Run & Sports Day
  • $19,091 - Fuchs Elephant Charge 2021 - To cover costs of the recently formed Human-Wildlife Conflict team and a dedicated Rapid Response Unit for HWC. This work assists communities in life-threatening and livelihood threatening conflicts. This focus on supporting rural communities has been well received.
  • $13,150 - Fuchs Elephant Charge 2020 - Again, the funds were shifted to the Human Wildlife Conflict Mitigation Program. Funds also continue to support snare removals via anti-snaring patrols and since the Elephant Charge began supporting CSL, they have removed over 9000 deadly wire snares from the bush.
  • $10,243 - Fuchs Elephant Charge 2019 - Due to the COVID pandemic CSL has been unable to host the fun run in 2020 and funds have instead shifted to their very important Human Wildlife Conflict Mitigation Program.
