Our first monthly newsletter is out!

From wildlife captured on camera traps to the people working to protect Chewore South, our September edition brings together some of the stories and progress from the field.

It includes a message from our Founder and Executive Chairman, Michael Hacking, updates on our conservation work and community initiatives, and the story of Evernice Dzomba, a 19-year-old from Masoka who is breaking barriers in the conservation field.

Check out what the camera traps picked up in Chewore South!

A roan antelope moving through the reserve, followed by a leopard mother with her two cubs making their way through the bush after dark.

These are the kinds of moments that give us a glimpse into the wildlife living across Chewore South. A big thank you to Zimparks and Great Plains Foundation for supporting the Chewore Conservation Trust’s camera trap deployment programme.

What do you make of the footage? Please let us know in the comments section.

During the first half of 2026, the law enforcement team of the Chewore Conservation Trust (CCT), our implementing partner on the ground, conducted 1,266 anti-poaching patrol man-days in Chewore South. CCT manages the area under a 25-year collaborative management agreement with Zimparks.

To complement the patrols, a new digital radio communication system on Chirambakudoma Mountain was installed, and it now gives field teams secure coverage across Chewore South and Mbire Ward 11.

The patrols, alongside our plans for tourism and innovative finance, all come back to the same thing. Find out what it is in our Mid-Year Impact Report 2026:https://awenature.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/AWE-NATURE-MID-YEAR-IMPACT-REPORT-2026______.pdf

One of our supporters first visited Chewore South a year ago. Over two weeks, she remembers seeing little more than a few hyenas, some honey badgers, and one herd of elephants.

Earlier this year, she came back and could hardly believe it was the same place. She says wildlife was so much more visible, and there was even a resident elephant around Chenje Camp, the Chewore Conservation Trust's recently opened photographic safari camp.

She wasn't the only one who noticed the difference. See what our other guests found in our Mid-Year Impact Report 2026 available here:https://awenature.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/AWE-NATURE-MID-YEAR-IMPACT-REPORT-2026______.pdf

Dinosaurs walked this way more than 140 million years ago! Stunning evidence of our prehistoric past deep in Chewore South. Here you can actually walk in the footsteps of dinosaurs.

They were first documented by geologist Tim Broderick in 1984, after a hunting client stumbled across them by accident. This year, on his 77th birthday, Broderick returned – not to study the site again, but to pass on what he's learnt over four decades.

His daughter Lucy came with him, along with two young guides from Chenje Camp who were eager to learn more.

Our Mid-Year Impact Report 2026 is out.

It features our work in Chewore South, implemented on the ground by our partner Chewore Conservation Trust, in collaboration with Zimparks

Among the highlights: in Masoka, a community bordering the Chewore South Safari Area, a 22 km fence is nearly complete. It is meant to protect people’s lives and reduce the crop and livestock losses caused by elephants and predators – an estimated USD 300,000 a year. Ten residents chosen by the community are building it themselves.

Chenje Camp, Chewore South's first photographic safari camp, opened this year. It used to be a hunting camp, and it welcomed its first guest groups in May.

The report also covers ranger training, conservation work and the steps we are taking to develop new sources of finance for Chewore South and beyond.

Tomorrow, 19 September, Team Chewore South takes on the final challenge of the 2026 Wildlife Ranger Challenge!

After completing the push-ups and 2.4km challenge events, the team now faces a 21km race against more than 150 teams from across Africa – with men carrying 22kg backpacks and women carrying 10kg.

This is a challenge that puts the spotlight on the rangers who protect Africa’s wildlife and wild places, often in remote and demanding conditions. The Chewore South team does this work every day. Tomorrow, they take on the 21 km – and we’re behind them.

Team Chewore South is one of 10 Zimparks teams taking part in WRC26, with the challenge fundraised for, facilitated, and managed by The Tashinga Initiative in partnership with Tusk. The Chewore South team is generously sponsored by
Awe for Nature Foundation and Chewore Conservation Trust (CCT).

A fresh batch of camera trap pictures from Chewore South gave us a fascinating glimpse into wildlife activity across the landscape recently.

Highlights from the latest retrieval include nighttime leopard patrols, young bull elephants sparring, and a rare sighting of a roan antelope.

Setting up and maintaining these camera traps is a true team effort. The deployment was carried out by our on-the-ground partner, Chewore Conservation Trust (CCT), with support from the Great Plains Foundation, under CCT’s ongoing collaborative partnership with Zimbabwe Parks & Wildlife Management Authority (ZimParks).

Consistent monitoring like this gives CCT valuable data on species movements across Chewore South, helping the team better understand the landscape and guide habitat protection.

Behind the scenes of camera trap installation

Setting up a camera trap looks simple. Finding the right place to put one is not. 🎥 Watch to find out why.

Awe Nature's Ndanatsiwa Tagwireyi joins the Chewore Conservation Trust (CCT) research team in the field as they install camera traps across Chewore South. This is about reading the landscape itself, not just mounting equipment on a tree.

While this is the side of conservation that rarely gets seen, it's what makes the data reliable once the cameras are running.

This work is made possible under the collaborative partnership between CCT – our on-the-ground partner – and Zimparks. We are also grateful to Great Plains Foundation for supporting this camera deployment work.

Stick around till the end of the video for a look at what the cameras have already captured.
