Title:
Integrating livestock production with wildlife management in communal conservancies in the Zambezi Region: Dzoti Pilot Project
Author(s):
Abstract:

Dzoti Consevancy has revised its land-use zonation plan to make way for good rangeland management. We hold regular meetings with the farmers and other stakeholder in Kakiramupepu and Silonga to raise awareness about the development of a rangeland management plan. A Grazing Committee has been established and a grazing plan is in the process of being implemented to reduce conflict between livestock and predators. A key aspect of the plan is to ensure that seasonal wildlife movement and wildlife corridors are considered during planning. The plan also ensures that farmers do not graze livestock in specified tourism zones. A Livestock Committee trained in animal diseases, husbandry, breeding practices and rangeland management, and regular visits to Dzoti Consevancy ensure that the training is adapted to changing needs.
