On
2
November
2025,
The
Zambezi
Society strengthened
its
collaborative
conservation
network
by
co-hosting
the
annual
‘Mukuvisi
March
for
Elephants’
held
in
Harare,
Zimbabwe,
in
partnership
with
the
MyTrees
Trust
with
funding
support
from
the
Zimbabwe
Elephant
Fund (ZEF).
Leveraging
the
Mukuvisi
Woodlands
as
a
strategic
urban
venue,
the
event
successfully
mobilised
public
engagement
and
resources
for
elephant
conservation.
Technical
and
logistical
delivery
was
streamlined
through
a
partnership
with
ZimTriathlon.
This
platform
allowed
ZAMSOC
to
stimulate
conversation
about Human-Elephant
Co-existence
within
Zimbabwe’s
urban
population
and
bridge
the
gap
between
urban
awareness
and
frontline
efforts
to
mitigate
human-wildlife
conflict.
This
year’s Harare
event
was
held a
week
before
the Saving The
Elephants
10
km
Run
which
takes
place
annually
in
Central
Park,
New
York
City.
Elephant
lovers
and
well-wishers
accompanied
by
their
families
and
dogs
turned
up
in
numbers
at
both
events
to
show
their
support
for
elephant
conservation.
However,
while
those
in
Harare
were
enjoying
the
warm
spring
sunshine
of
Southern
Africa
(see
images
above),
the
New
York
supporters
(pictured
below)
came
out
in
winter
temperatures
that
were
considerably
more
bracing!
