A tech-driven conservation effort in Zimbabwe's Matabeleland reduces human-wildlife conflicts, preventing deaths and injuries through real-time tracking and community involvement.
In Zimbabwe, a tech-powered conservation program in Matabeleland provinces is reducing deadly human-wildlife conflicts, with 13 deaths and 10 injuries reported between January and November 2025.
Trained community monitors use bicycles and mobile apps to track elephants and predators, feeding real-time data into EarthRanger, which integrates GPS collar information for rapid alerts.
The system helps protect people, livestock, and crops, especially during dry and crop seasons.
Authorities combine this with awareness campaigns, fencing, geofencing, and community conservancies, while both IFAW and ZimParks collaborate on science-based, inclusive strategies despite differing tourism views.
