Book excerpt: Zambezi Valley - The Lost Stronghold testifies to the dedication of those who fought against all odds to protect Zimbabwe's Zambezi Valley, considered in the 1980s the last stronghold for the greatest concentration of wild black rhinos in Africa.The war against poachers by heroic Game Scouts and Rangers, who risked their lives for very little in exchange, was led in Zimbabwe by the initiator of Operation Stronghold, Glenn Tatham.With a foreword by Clive Walker, this account is the result of the author's personal involvement in the campaign run by Zimbabwe's National Parks Department almost thirty years ago, when, at 21, she became its official Italian chapter for half of the decade-long Operation Stronghold.The pace of the emergency unfolds in Silvana's story through the direct reporting of experiences in the field - the aftermath of shoot-outs with poachers, the translocation and dehorning of rhinos - and the documentation of the crisis at various levels, from Parks field stations to rhino management decisions.Saving the last rhinos was made harder by severe economic and political constraints, and also by adverse international public opinion due to the so-called shoot-to-kill policy and the controversial management of elephants.When Zimbabwe became a full-blown dictatorship and its economy imploded, politics infiltrated National Parks and rhino conservation remained possible only in vast, private conservancies and smaller, heavily guarded state parks.Describing Zimbabwe's visionary conservation policies of the time, the account testifies to the complexities of conservation in Africa.

Download or read book Crossing the Zambezi written by JoAnn McGregor and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a history of claims to the Zambezi, focussed on the stretch of the river extending from the Victoria Falls downstream into Lake Kariba, which today constitutes the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. It is a story of 150 years of conflict over the changing landscape of the river, in which the tension between the Zambezi's 'river people' and more powerful others has been central. The Zambezi is one of Africa's longest and most important rivers - securing access to its waters and control over its banks, traffic and commerce were crucial political priorities for leaders of precolonial states no less than their colonial and postcolonial successors. The book is about the ways in which the course of the Zambezi has shaped history, its shifting role as link, barrier or conduit, the political, economic and cultural uses of the technological projects that have transformed the landscape, and their legacies in the conflicts of today. By investigating how the claims made today by Zambezi 'river people' relate to longer history of claims and appropriations, the book contributes to long-standing debates over the relationship between geography and history, landscape and power.

Download or read book African Rhino written by Richard Emslie and published by IUCN. This book was released on 1999 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The black and the white rhinoceros have become flagship species for international conservation. They are significant not only for the continuation of a major evolutionary heritage, but also as symbols for the protection of African savannahs. The battle for the survival of these species has been marked by some notable successes and sadly, many failures, and the situation is still critical. The international horn trade ban and the domestic bans imposed in most traditional user states have driven the trade further underground, in some cases inflating prices and making illegal dealing even more lucrative.This Plan is aimed at donors, government and non-government organizations, and all those involved in rhino conservation. It outlines the actions and strategies needed to catalyse support for these majestic animals, and help secure their future in sub-Saharan Africa. The overall conclusion is that, given the political will, stability and adequate field expenditure, rhinos can be conserved in the wild.
