Abstract: Large swathes of land in the Zambezi Basin are strongholds of free ranging indigenous large mammals and fishes yet these areas are under threat from indigenous settlers who are faced with twin problems of expanding agriculture and venturing into wildlife community projects. The area has recently been cleared of tsetse fly making it freely available for agriculture. Photographs show the extraordinary place, fragile and magnificent and a changeable land surface. Integrated conservation planning using ecosystem†based management principles is still in its infancy but the goal is to secure public health and security concerns through adaptive management approaches, partnerships and a variety of business structures. A purposive sampling of community reaction to a fenced conservation project was conducted in order to incorporate local community opinion. The results show the need to do more to understand the local communities more in the region.
