EDU Africa Veterinary Science & Community Conservation

This program focuses on primary wildlife management and conservation initiatives in 3 regions of Zimbabwe, namely Antelope Park (Gweru), Hwange National Park, and Victoria Falls. Students will meet and work alongside trained field guides and rangers, conservationists, veterinarians, and wildlife researchers, as well as local community members to understand the complexities of wildlife management -with particular focus on community conservation and veterinary science. By understanding the issues around human-wildlife conflict, students will be encouraged to consider holistic approaches to wildlife care and conservation that promotes coexistence between humans and nature. EDU Africa further encourages the fostering of global perspectives and cultural self-awareness.
