Project narrative

On 10 December, 2015, China handed over wildlife protection equipment to Zimbabwe to help the government combat wildlife poaching. The donation was worth RMB 14,000,000 and includes ten sport-utility vehicles; seven pickup trucks; eight lorries; ten graders; eight tractors; and more than a hundred mobile radios, tents, flashlights and patrol clothing. The equipment is expected to be used to fight poaching at Hwange National Park, the country's largest wildlife sanctuary, and Mana Pools National Park, a World Heritage site in northern Zimbabwe.
