Conservation Lower Zambezi (CLZ) is a non-governmental organisation committed to the conservation of wildlife and the environment in the Lower Zambezi, Zambia. CLZ was founded in 1994 to provide support to the national wildlife protection authority – The Department of National Parks and Wildlife (DNPW), to mitigate threats to wildlife from poaching in the region. Over the years, CLZ has grown to focus on three main pillars of support: Wildlife Protection, Environmental Education and Community Empowerment and is actively working towards a vision of “A valued, protected and thriving Lower Zambezi Landscape.”
