The Road Ahead

The Road Ahead is a metaphor for the strong beliefs conservationists must be driven by, against the global decline of nature. The chimpanzee trots playfully into the African rainforest, with forest light shining on his face. It shows us that, although there is a lot of work to do, there are regular groundbreaking ‘wins’ in conservation, many of which are originating from a bottom-up approach. 

60% of the proceeds of this artwork will go to the K9 unit program of Conservation South Luangwa.

Since 2003, Conservation South Luangwa (CSL) has worked in partnership with Zambia's Department of National Parks and Wildlife (DNPW) to conserve the South Luangwa Valley's unique wilderness and wildlife. Their efforts focus on protecting the 1.4 million hectares of largely intact national park and surrounding game management areas, home to over 60 mammal species, 450 bird species, and iconic animals like Crawshay's zebra and Luangwa giraffe.

Through a multi-faceted approach, CSL works with DNPW to combat wildlife trafficking and poaching through anti-poaching patrols, aerial surveillance, and community engagement. Their mission is to ensure the long-term conservation of the South Luangwa Valley's wildlife and ecosystems, while promoting coexistence with local communities.
