Biodiversity Conservation
While Ntumbe is already internationally recognized for its exceptional biodiversity and ecological importance, the project is now advancing the region's profile as a living laboratory for nature finance solutions. Here, new models are being tested and scaled to protect the wilderness, restore biodiversity, strengthen communities, and inform policy.
Once the last stronghold for the black rhino in the Zambezi Valley, Ntumbe remains home to large populations of elephants, lions, leopards, wild dogs, hippopotamuses, and rare roan and sable antelopes.
Key Ecological Significance
Home to the Zambezi Valley's last viable roan antelope population (estimated at 55 individuals left in the wild).
Fossilized dinosaur footprints preserved for over 160 million years.
Rich woodland and riverine ecosystems supporting a wide range of fauna and flora.
A long-term ambition to reintroduce the black rhino, which has been absent since 1994.
Community Development
We recognize local communities as essential stewards of the landscapes they call home. Through blended finance models—combining nature finance and philanthropy—we support initiatives that strengthen community resilience and well-being, including:
Safe water access.
Human–wildlife conflict mitigation.
Inclusion in nature finance programs and benefit-sharing.
Direct involvement in aspects of Ntumbe Park management, security, and eco-tourism.
