KAZA meetings commence in Victoria Falls as Zimbabwe leads regional conservation agenda

High-level meetings for the Kavango Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area KAZA TFCA began in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, on Monday. The five-day event, hosted by Zimbabwe's Ministry of Environment, Climate and Wildlife, brings together delegates from Angola, Botswana, Namibia, and Zambia. Environment, Climate and Wildlife Minister Evelyn Ndlovu stated that these meetings are part of Zimbabwe's responsibilities as the current chair of KAZA. Zimbabwe assumed the rotating two-year coordinating chairmanship of KAZA on August 22, 2025, succeeding Zambia. Under Zimbabwe's leadership, the conservation bloc has advanced initiatives such as a regional Elephant Action Plan and Zimbabwe's Elephant Management Plan 2026-2035, aiming to balance wildlife conservation with community needs. The KAZA ministerial committee has also endorsed strategies to reduce human-wildlife conflict and is expanding cross-border tourism through the KAZA UniVisa programme. The bloc recently secured €6 million in funding from international partners, including the European Union, to bolster biodiversity protection and community-based conservation efforts across the region.
