When twenty elephants wander into the maize, you need a very big sheepdog.

In Mozambique's Futi Corridor, six villages chose to set aside 10,000 hectares for conservation, forming the Mwai Community Conservation Area. Together, they planned and built a 43-km fence to keep families, fields, and elephants safe, with gates placed exactly where daily life needs them.

Here, in a joint operation by Mozambique Wildlife Alliance and Maputo National Park management, a helicopter guides a herd out of community lands and back into their conflict-free area. Harvests stay safe, nights are quieter, and elephants keep the ancient path they've walked for centuries.

Coexistence, designed and built by the people who live it.

African wild dogs succeed in up to nine out of ten hunts. Their secret? They never run alone.

Neither do we. Our 2025 Impact Report is out, and it tells the story of a year won as one pack.

In Mozambique, thirty community members from six villages built a 43-km elephant-proof fence that now protects crops, homes, and lives. The same community went on to run its first Annual General Meeting entirely on its own.

In Namibia, Ekoto Camp welcomed its first guests: a community-owned lodge bringing lasting income to the Orupupa Conservancy.

And in Zambia, wildlife is recovering, and local institutions are leading so strongly that we could begin to hand over management of the Tondwa Game Management Area to the people best placed to care for it responsibly.

Communities, partners, and supporters like you: that’s the pack. Thank you for running beside us in 2025.

There is now an elephant named Mwai standing at the Mozambique International Trade Fair in Maputo.

Mozambique's National Directorate of Forestry and Wildlife (DNFFB) commissioned the statue in tribute to the six villages of the Mwai community in Matutuíne District. The plaque carries three words: Conserve, Coexist, Develop.

Elephants are hard to live with. They take crops and break things. The Mwai communities chose to live alongside them anyway, and built 43 kilometres of elephant-proof fence to make it work for both sides.

The DNFFB visited Mwai two weeks ago and is now leading the process to declare the Mwai Community Concession Area formally as a community conservation area – the Mwai Community Conservation Area – a status that has legal standing in Mozambique.

The statue is being unveiled by the Minister of Agriculture, Environment, and Fisheries at the fair, which runs until 6 September.

Six villages. One elephant. Recognition well earned.

It took a helicopter, park rangers, and the patience of a whole community, but elephants that had wandered beyond the conservation area in southern Mozambique were guided back through the gates of a newly built fence, and when the animals crossed over, the village exhaled.
That was one moment in a quarter full of highlights.

Our Q2 2026 Progress Report is out now.
Thank you for walking with us towards a future where nature conserves us.

These boots were made for far more than walking.

Our rangers carry only what they can manage on foot, sometimes walking many kilometres a day. The one thing they simply cannot do without? A solid pair of boots to carry them, and their equipment, as far as the work demands. Out in our rural wildscapes, those aren't always easy to find.

That's why we're so grateful to Jim Green Boots for generously donating boots to our rangers in the Mwai Community Conservation Area in Mozambique. Now their focus can stay where it matters most, on protecting wildlife.

A heartfelt thank you to Jim Green, and to the Game Rangers Association of Africa for making it happen. We can't wait to see what our rangers do with their new gear!

Seven new rangers. Eight weeks of training. One very proud day.

This World Ranger Day we're celebrating our seven scouts who have completed their Basic Field Ranger Training delivered by Mellivora. These photos are from last week's passing-out parade the remote wilderness of Chipanje Chetu Community Conservation Area, where they received their certificates. These scouts will be deployed to the Mwai Community Conservation Area in Mozambique.

Eight weeks in the field is hard. Early starts, long patrols, real discipline. They earned every bit of this.

Huge thanks to the Yambone Conservation team at Lipilichi Wilderness for hosting us, and to Wildcat for backing this from the start.

To every ranger out there today, thank you for what you do. Nature is our future.

Thank you to Akashinga for their invaluable support of our work in Namibia.

Kunene is indeed a remarkable place - as beautiful and rich in biodiversity as it is harsh and dry. We are grateful to work there and to work with the people who have long protected its ecosystems and everything that relies on them.

Despite the challenges of living alongside wildlife such as elephants and lions, the communities of Kunene are steadfast in their commitment to finding solutions.

They share our belief that nature is our future.

Happy World Environment Day! 🌿

“Inspired by nature. For climate. For our future.” Today’s theme feels especially close to home, and we’re excited to share that the Mwai Landscape Project, our community-led wildscape initiative on the southern coast of Mozambique, has been accepted into the Plan Vivo Accelerator Programme. Tangible action for our future.

With over 25 years of experience, Plan Vivo is a leading certification standard for high-integrity nature-based projects. Internationally recognised for its rigorous requirements, credible methodologies and participatory approach, Plan Vivo helps locally-led initiatives access carbon and nature markets. Their Accelerator Programme gives projects like ours the expert Technical and Commercial and Investment Readiness support needed to grow from a strong community-led vision into a fully operational, sustainable carbon project. One that creates real, lasting benefit for the people who call this land home.

The Mwai landscape connects Maputo National Park with Tembe Elephant Park across the Mozambique-South Africa border, forming part of the Futi Corridor, a wildlife link that matters far beyond any single boundary. Six communities call it home. They are rising as the rightful stewards and champions of this remarkable place.

We can’t wait to share more of this journey with you. Read about it here: https://conserveglobal.earth/blog/mwai-landscape-project/

Grateful to the management of Parque Nacional de Maputo (Maputo National Park) for convening this important meeting on human-wildlife conflict mitigation in the Mwai region.

The meeting brought together a strong coalition of stakeholders: the Maputo Environmental Protection Area, the Mwai Community Reserve, the Community Association for Conservation of the Futhi Corridor, local leadership from Salamanga, the local police, and community leaders from Tchia, Matchia, Mussongue, Huco, Madjadjane, and Massale.

Where communities and wildlife share the same wildscapes, coexistence requires more than goodwill. It requires structure, dialogue, and a shared commitment to finding solutions that protect both people and nature. For the families farming in the buffer zone and the children walking to school each day, this work is urgent, and it matters.

Africa's most pressing conservation challenges are human ones. The answers lie with the communities who call these places home, and meetings like this one are where those answers begin to take shape.
