Wildlife Conservation Action (WCA) is a Zimbabwean organisation that builds the capacity of communities to protect and co-exist with wildlife, while improving livelihoods on the Zimbabwean side of three Transfrontier Conservation Areas: KAZA, Lower Zambezi – Mana Pools and ZIMOZA. These regions provide large tracts of relatively intact wild lands for wide ranging species, and are important landscapes for the conservation of large carnivores and other wildlife species most notably buffalo and elephant.
programme, Guardians of the Wild (GOTW), is aimed at educating children in both rural and urban schools about the importance of environmental protection and biodiversity conservation through lessons, seminars, content creation and field trips to national parks.

How Tusk works with Our Project Partners
We provide critical funding to enable our project partners to grow and increase their impact on habitat and wildlife, while also enabling, nurturing and supporting collaboration between them, for greater synergy and impact.
We help to increase awareness and wider support for our partners’ efforts, while also sharing important conservation messages, from the vital and varied roles of wildlife rangers, to the benefits of community-driven conservation, both within Africa and internationally.
Wildlife Conservation Action has been a Tusk partner since 2023.
