ZIMBABWE'S TRAGEDY

THE ZIMBABWE CONSERVATION TASK FORCE

WOULD LIKE TO THANK M ~ WEB FOR KINDLY

SPONSORING THIS WEB SITE.

The Zimbabwe Conservation Task force was formed in April 2001 by a group of Zimbabweans, who were desperately concerned about the unacceptable levels of poaching as well as the destruction of the environment due to the break down of law and order in Zimbabwe.

During the " land grab " in Zimbabwe, it was not only agricultural land that was targeted. A large percentage of private game ranches and conservancies have also been confiscated, leaving the wildlife to the mercy of war vets. Several conservancies are now completely devoid of wildlife.

This web site contains :

Evidence of deforestation and the destruction of dry river beds.
The decimation of the fish population in Zimbabwe's rivers and lakes.
Shocking graphic evidence of animals caught in snares and left to rot. Parts of their bodies have been hacked off with pangas, leaving them to die a horrible lingering death, writhing in pain. All the atrocities you are about to see are not for the faint hearted.
