SLCS

The South Luangwa Conservation Society is a non-profit community based organisation. They are committed to the conservation of the local wildlife and natural resources of the South Luangwa National Park and surrounding Game Management Areas.

Norman Carr Safaris has supported the society since its inception in 2003. The company is a corporate member and two members of the company’s management team sit on the SLCS board of trustees.

More than 60% of Zambia’s 11 million strong population live in rural areas and the population in the Mfuwe area of the South Luangwa has expanded rapidly in recent years in direct proportion to the expansion of the tourism industry. Whenever people live in close proximity to wildlife there will be conflict. We are lucky in the Luangwa that the tsetse fly prohibits the rearing of livestock and as a result we do not see the conflict of interests between grazing grounds for wildlife and livestock that are so common in parts of East Africa. There is however an obvious requirement for protein in the village communities and this has traditionally been satisfied by hunting wildlife locally.

Whilst anti-poaching is a significant part of the South Luangwa Conservation Society’s mandate they also concern themselves with uplifting local communities by establishing alternative income generating projects.
