Welcome to the Home Page of Wildlife & Environment
Zimbabwe
Since 1927 Wildlife & Environment Zimbabwe (WEZ) has fought for the conservation and
protection of Zimbabwe’s environment. Since then WEZ has been on the forefront
of conservation, lobbying for the establishment of National Parks and protected areas,
assisting in the management of these, and spreading knowledge on conservation and
environmental issues through our magazine, publications, and different environmental
education projects. Our efforts strive to fulfil our mission: To encourage and assist
all people of Zimbabwe to understand the importance of wildlife and the environment and to
conserve Zimbabwe’s natural resources for the well being of current and future
generations and to ensure that the utilisation of these natural resources is fair and
sustainable.
But our richly endowed and beautiful country is confronted by critical environmental
and ecological problems. This has resulted in environmental degradation, declining
population of endangered species, destruction of indigenous forest and wildlife habitats,
soil erosion, pollution in all its forms, and ruthless exploitation of our natural
resources for short-term profit.
We live in times where the protection of our natural resources is more important than
ever before. We must join all our efforts to conserve, manage and protect Zimbabwe’s
ecological environment with all its associated species of fauna and flora with the help of
all Zimbabweans taking a custodian role over all natural resources.
Every one of us can make a difference!
