All collared elephants were protected from legal hunters when they wandered into adjacent hunting concessions. Funding was provided for the following activities conducted with Zimbabwe Parks Authority in Mana Pools and the surrounding Zambezi Valley of Zimbabwe: (1) new collars were placed on 10 iconic big-tusked bull elephants, including 2 new elephants; (2) a research project to understand the cause and determine a cure for the baby elephants that appear to have a deformed leg was initiated. Two baby elephants were darted, their bad legs were examined, and samples were taken from the affected joint. We plan to investigate at least 5 more cases next year; (3) conservation clubs, each with 20-30 children, were managed and led by a professional educator in 24 schools in the communities bordering Mana Pools. Two big sports galas and a wildlife quiz day were conducted in these communities; (4) human-wildlife conflict management, including community awareness training, was a significant part of the work we funded. Four lions were captured and relocated from the villages to the park. Elephant mitigation tactics using chili bricks were employed; (5) one secondhand vehicle was purchased for use in anti-poaching work; (6) The Ranger Station we built on the southern boundary of Mana Pools was furnished with beds, and electrical wiring was installed for lighting from existing solar panels. The facility can accommodate 14 rangers, including a senior ranger and his family. 0 0 0 261442 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 6 6 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 AL AZ CA CO CT DC FL GA HI IL KS KY MA MD ME MI MN MO MS NC NH NJ NM NV NY OH OK OR PA RI SC TN UT VA WA WI WV X X Elizabeth Brock 7032984875 216 F Street Suite 112 Davis CA 95616 Nick Murray President 10 0 X X 0 0 0 Elizabeth Brock Treasurer 20 0 X X 0 0 0 Ed Callen Secretary 3 0 X X 0 0 0 Alison Nolting Director 3 0 X 0 0 0 Mara Perkins Director 5 0 X 0 0 0 Charles Hanemann Director 3 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 480806 0 480806 0 14536 0 0 14536 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Credit card rewards 900099 155 0 0 155 0 0 0 0 155 495497 0 0 14691 0 0 0 0 261213 261213 5000 5000 2606 2606 2030 2030 State registration fees 2519 0 0 2519 Email subscription services 229 229 0 0 273597 261442 9636 2519 11561 49239 405966 591423 17806 16577 435333 657239 96 102 96 102 X 421590 647637 13647 9500 435237 657137 435333 657239 221900 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 1 X 0 0 X 315629 378439 563984 366593 480806 2105451 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 315629 378439 563984 366593 480806 2105451 901896 1203555 966 14536 15502 48 96 146 155 445 2121398 0 0.56734 0.59413 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 Credit card rewards RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 496997 0 1500 0 0 1500 495497 0 0 0 495497 275097 1500 0 0 0 1500 273597 0 0 0 273597 1 Sub-Saharan Africa 0 0 Program Services Wildlife preservation 261213 0 0 261213 Sub-Saharan Africa General support 261213 wire transfer 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Schedule F, Part I, Line 2 Bushlife Conservancy monitors the use of grants by requiring that each grantee sign a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for each grant.
