West Lunga National Park Initiative | Northwest Zambia

Once described as "a little known game reserve" by W.F Ansell, author of "An International History of Mammalogy (1991)" this unique National park is in need of support. Located in the Northwestern Province of Zambia, Africa, the West Lunga National park has faced years of neglect through lack of development, poaching and inaccessibility. In 2014 the Trident Foundation, a not-for-profit, was established in a new town development near to the park. The Wildlife and Conservation department have undertaken the mammoth task to assist the Department of National Parks and Wildlife to manage the park. Coverage over the 12,000 square kilometers has increased, as resources for patrols and communications have improved. This initiative is in need of additional support.

Lovely film of a wonderful area that I remember visiting with my father, Frank Ansell mentioned several times in the film.

The West Lunga National Park is obviously a jewel in the crown of Zambia's national parks. Here's hoping that the partnership between the government and the Trident Foundation will be able to reverse the neglect and poaching. The hope is that it will once again become a breeding area for elephants. If this speaks to you, you can find out more about how to get involved at [e-mail]. I know they're waiting to hear from you.

Continue the good work, I find it immensely sad when trees are cut for charcoal, blame the government for being unable to provide the necessary energy requirements for the country to function. At a great expense to the ecology and environment
