Nature-based solutions inventory Zimbabwe
Summary
The inventory identifies nature-based solutions (NbS) in Zimbabwe, focusing on reforestation and wildlife corridor conservation in biodiversity hotspots like Hwange and Zambezi National Parks. These projects integrate traditional knowledge with modern practices across sectors such as water management and sustainable agriculture to combat droughts, unpredictable rainfall, and rising temperatures.
Key insights
- Nature-based solutions projects in Zimbabwe are primarily focused on reforestation and wildlife corridor conservation, with geographic concentrations in the Victoria Falls region, Zambezi Valley, Zambezi National Park, and Hwange National Park.
- NbS interventions in Zimbabwe operate across forestry, wildlife conservation, sustainable agriculture, and water management sectors to address climate challenges such as rising temperatures, unpredictable rainfall, and prolonged droughts.
- Many projects utilize a community-based approach that combines modern conservation practices with Traditional Knowledge to ensure local ownership and the equitable distribution of benefits.
