The Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority (ZimParks) is actively seeking assistance from the public in combating the illicit poaching of wildlife, a pressing issue that threatens the biodiversity and ecological integrity of the country’s national parks.
In response to the recent poaching incident involving three lions in Hwange National Park, ZimParks has announced a reward of JS$2000 for any credible information that could lead to the arrest of those responsible for this heinous act.
Lion populations are crucial not only for maintaining the balance of the ecosystem but also for the tourism that supports local economies.
Such incidents of poaching not only reduce the number of these magnificent creatures but also have far-reaching effects on local wildlife and communities.
ZimParks urges anyone with information, no matter how small, to come forward as it could play a significant role in securing justice for these animals.
The authority has assured the public that all information provided will be handled with the utmost confidentiality to protect the identity of informants.
Community involvement is essential in the fight against poaching, and ZimParks emphasizes that collaboration can lead to meaningful change.
Individuals who wish to report information can reach out to Tinashe Farawo directly at 0772433901 or via email at tfarawo@zimparks.org.zw.
