Festive Greetings from CSL

2020 has been a difficult year for conservation organisations around the world and in their latest newsletter, Conservation South Luangwa (CSL) shares their thoughts on the past few months, and thanks all their friends who have supported them during this unprecedented time.

What a year 2020 has been! It’s impossible to sum it up in a few paragraphs but I’ll try. Firstly and most importantly, we were only able to get through this year successfully by and large because of you, all of our wonderful friends and supporters who stepped up in every way possible to keep our important work going.”

I cannot thank you enough. My faith in humanity has been totally restored.

CEO, Rachel McRobb with Mr Benson Kanyembo, CSL Law Enforcement Advisor

We started the year with great aspirations and plans but these were quickly thrust in to turmoil in March, along with the rest of the world. It was hard to plan suitably for the year and many projects and activities were cancelled or put on hold, including our in-service ranger training, annual conservation fun run, workshops and other exciting international fundraising events. We decided to focus on the absolute essentials which for us included keeping all of our staff fully employed so that they in turn can protect wildlife and help communities.”

To find out how CSL not only coped during the pandemic, but also formed new partnerships, achieved their major goals, and most importantly, managed to keep everyone at CSL fully employed, as well as even increasing their support to the community, then read their full newsletter here.
