Wildlife Conservation & Community Partnerships:
A long term solution

Our Community

Imire is committed to protecting wildlife and strongly believe that rural communities and conservation programmes can live side by side, working together to ensure the protection of our natural heritage. Imire has been closely involved with the Wedza community since the conservancy was founded. We believe that sustainable conservation cannot exist without community support and believe that rhino and wildlife conservation efforts can be strengthened by empowering the local community through livelihood opportunities in low impact and sustainable development focusing on wildlife and the environment.

As a result, Imire has been a long-time employer of local community members, a strong supporter of local primary and secondary education, and an active participant in grassroots development projects

Imire support community projects and initiatives which provide either education, medical or financial empowerment opportunities. We are proud to have a positive and mutually beneficial relationship with our community and remain 100% committed to ensuring that the people in our district are as prosperous, successful and supported as possible.
