Wildlife Rescue
Chipembele has a small rehabilitation centre for injured and orphaned animals. We are a member society of the World Society for Protection of Animals (WSPA) and all our work is authorised by ZAWA (Zambian Wildlife Authority). Human-Wildlife conflict (HWC) is increasing on the outskirts of the National Park - and this means Chipembele usually has several orphaned or injured animals to care for. Here is a gallery of the animals reared over the years by Anna and Steve. The aim is always to rehabilitate them back to the wild where they belong.
The Interpretive and Class Rooms
Opened in 2001 our Wildlife Education Centre is the hub of our Conservation Education programmes. Young people from six local schools attend clases on rotation on Wednesdays and Saturdays. During classes at Chipembele the students have the opportunity to explore many aspects of environment and conservation. The displays include poached animal skulls, scat, footprints, seeds and much more to engage the students in lively discussions. Of note is the entire re-articulated juvenile wild dog skeleton. In context the displays spring great conversations and interest.
