These are the stories from our Green Teams on the ground, as they work together with local people to build their communities and protect their natural environments.
Green Safaris proudly supports the Conservation South Luangwa (CSL) K9 Unit, a specialized anti-poaching team using trained detection dogs to combat wildlife crime in Zambia. In 2024, the unit conducted 178 operations, including 144 roadblocks and 15 building searches, screening 21,759 vehicles for illegal wildlife products. These efforts led to 17 arrests, 17 firearms confiscations, and the seizure of illegal bushmeat and a pangolin carcass. Additionally, through intelligence-driven operations with law enforcement, the K9 Unit contributed to 73 more arrests and 64 additional firearm confiscations, demonstrating its critical role in disrupting poaching networks.
To maintain peak performance, the K9 Unit undergoes continuous training in scent detection, tracking, and rapid-response tactics, including specialized helicopter exercises for rapid deployments. CSL also prioritizes top-tier veterinary care, ensuring all dogs remain healthy and operational.
Through our partnership with CSL, Green Safaris is committed to supporting wildlife conservation and sustainable tourism. The K9 Unit contributed to 39% of all wildlife crime arrests and 58% of all firearms confiscations in South Luangwa, proving the power of collaborative conservation. As we look ahead to 2025, we remain dedicated to ensuring Africa’s wildlife is safeguarded for future generations.
