How to get there

ZimParks joins the rest of the world in celebrating World Pangolin Day. In 2018, at least 42 people  were accused and 27 arrested and convicted  for illegal possession of pangolins.  1 was convicted and sentenced to 4 years, 5 were ordered to perform community service and 16 cases of pangolins were finalised country wide and a combined total of 247 years imprisonment was handled by the judiciary. Pangolins are critically endangered species.

Rangers in Hwange busted a poaching syndicate at Cross Dete leading to the recovery of 96kgs of raw ivory.

The Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority joins the world in commemorating World Hippo day, here are some interesting facts

Physical Structure

The hippopotamus is a semiaquatic mega-herbivore which can weigh over 1000 kilograms, about 2200 pounds. These animals consume large amounts of terrestrial vegetation, around 40 to 50 kg of wet mass, during nightly foraging bouts. After these foraging bouts, the hippopotamus returns to their aquatic refuges and spends most of the day resting and defecating.

Contribution to Ecosystem

Hippos are ecosystem engineers – that means that they create and change the land in and around wetlands. They do this by moving a lot of soil around with their sheer size – they create channels in the water and paths on land that redirect water. This also creates habitat and shelter for smaller creatures. Hippos also play an important role in the wetland by fertilizing the water. By eating on land and defecating in the water, they bring nutrients to rivers and lakes that wouldn’t otherwise be there, helping enrich wetland plant and animal life.
