Malawi-Zambia Transfrontier Conservation Area

active

The project aims to support the states of Zambia and Malawi in implementing their Transfrontier Conservation Area (TFCA) concept in the project area consisting of the Nyika National Park (NP) and the Vwaza Marsh Wildlife Reserve in Malawi as well as the Lundazi, Mitengi and Mikuti Forest Reserves, the Musalangu Game Management Area (GMA) and the North Luangwa NP in Zambia. The project essentially includes investments in four components: 1) establishment of a supra-regional coordination unit and local implementation units, 2) establishment of a cross-border structure to combat poaching, 3) improvement and expansion of park infrastructure and equipment, 4) population-based approaches (community development, conservancy approaches, community forest approaches) and PPP measures (park management, game ranching, tourism). In addition, improvements to the legal, institutional and economic framework conditions are required, which are to be provided as contributions by the two partner countries and are to be promoted and advanced through personnel support measures by TC, the Peace Parks Foundation (PPF), other NGOs such as the Frankfurt Zoological Society (FZS) or SBF-funded advisory missions.
