Imire creates awareness internationally of the wildlife and poaching crisis which threatens Zimbabwe and Africa, and the obstacles faced by local communities and conservation organisations. The biggest threats to the animals protected at Imire, and regionally are poaching and human overpopulation. Poaching is driven by demand for ivory and rhino horn in foreign countries, and fueled by poverty and lack of education on the ground. To protect the rhino and all wildlife, we believe we need to empower local communities.
Students are provided with a hands-on learning environment, where they are able to immerse themselves in our wonderful wildlife and learn about Imire’s history. We will open up a new world of possibilities and understanding of wildlife and their environment, deepening your appreciation of all our creatures, great and small.
