In Zambia’s Kazungula District, where livestock and wildlife coexist, tick-borne diseases devastate cattle and farmer incomes. To combat this, the Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Programme has commissioned three new spray races in the Mize-Lukuni Community Conservancy.

These facilities ensure even medicine application, protecting herds and improving animal health, milk production, and market value. Managed by local cooperatives, they also generate income and reduce reliance on poaching. This initiative fosters healthier cattle, stronger communities, and safer wildlife, building a brighter future for both people and nature.

In southern Angola’s Banda Chibia, drought once forced residents like Rita to walk for water. This struggle has ended. Through a partnership between the Government of Angola, the European Union, and FAO, the Banda Chibia Dam now secures water for agriculture and livelihoods. With over 21 million cubic meters capacity, it irrigates 750 hectares, supporting thousands and enabling climate-smart agriculture and resilience.

Farmer Field Schools taught communities efficient water management and sustainable farming, resulting in green fields, year-round harvests, and improved incomes. Rita now harvests food, not searching for water. This project demonstrates how partnership and innovation transform vulnerability into hope.

The Center and three Alaska Native Tribes have sued the Trump administration for illegally trading federal land vital to tribal members. This land swap threatens Izembek, one of the world's most important migratory bird staging areas. Critical eelgrass wetlands, relied on by emperor geese, black brant, and other birds that sustain these communities, face irreparable damage from a proposed road.

This unlawful giveaway would undermine subsistence food systems and set a dangerous precedent for all 104 million acres of Alaska's protected wildlands. We are fighting to stop this destruction and urge you to stand with us.
