Briana Evigan Instagram – #Repost @damien_mander, super proud to be a part of something so great. I’m so grateful for the Australian government for making this recent project happen. It’s just the beginning. Check it out… “Through its innovative approach to community-based conservation, Akashinga continues its efforts to protect, connect, and restore landscapes across Southern and East Africa. To date, Akashinga and its Wildlife Crime Unit have carried out 1303 arrests in 724 operations. In the last year alone, the unit has recovered 24 pangolins, 118 elephant tusks and 1 rhino horn, as well as over 1500 kg of illegally caught fish. Hand-in-hand with its conservation achievements, Akashinga continues to prioritise community development, focusing on areas such as education, health and nutrition, infrastructure development and employment. Most recently, a joint project between Hurungwe Rural District Council, MoveMe Abundant Village and Akashinga with support from the Australian Government provided essential access to clean water through the installation of solar boreholes at Nyamakate centre and Kilo village in Chundu. Solar power has also been provided to Nyamakate Clinic, and upgrades to Early Childhood Development (ECD) centres in nearby Golf and Jinami villages are in progress.” https://www.herald.co.zw/history-making-all-female-rangers-group-feted-in-hurungwe/amp/
