Invest in Africa's Future

A look into what it takes to run the Foundation and the available
investment opportunties for interested donors and partners to

help us open the door for wildlife and regain species lost.

FROM THE BOARD

At the Bumi Hills Foundation we understand the desire to
make a difference. We invite you to invest in our programmes
aimed at “opening the door” to long-term sustainable conser-
vation within Zimbabwe. Through the work of the Bumi Hills
Foundation there is a unique opportunity to contribute to both
conservation and community initiatives, equally as important
as the other in realising harmonious and beneficial coexistence
and preservation of both the wild and human inhabitants of the
Sebungwe region.

The Bumi Hills Foundation, founded in March 2016, is
a new initiative established to tackle the rampant wildlife
poaching and environmental degradation that currently plague
the area through various programs aimed at not only stopping
the scourge but preventing it from happening in the future.

Each member of our team has an intense passion for
conservation coupled with experience, knowledge, technical
ability and an unwavering determination to protect and reha-
bilitate the wildlife and wilderness in the region and to uplift and
empower the local community in doing so.

Our target is to raise the capital which will enable us to
achieve our goals for 2017 set out in this document and pave
the way for future programs in 2018 and beyond. We invite you
to invest alongside our existing partners in what we believe is a
unique opportunity to make a positive impact on the future of
our diminishing wild places in Zimbabwe.

We will stop at nothing to ensure that our diminishing wild
places are protected against the destructive actions of poaching,
preserved for the benefit of the environment and rehabilitated

where necessary for the future generations of people.

Founded in March 2016 the Bumi Hills Foundation Trust
aims to “Open The Door” for achieving long-term sustainable
conservation within the Sebungwe Region of northern Zim-
babwe through a set of carefully structured conservation and
community-based programmes including active anti-poaching,
human-wildlife conflict mitigation, wildlife research, healthcare,
education and economic empowerment.

Each member of our team has an intense passion for
conservation coupled with experience, knowledge, technical
ability and an unwavering determination to protect and reha-
bilitate the wildlife and wilderness in the region and to uplift
and empower the local community in doing so.

Perched on a ridge overlooking the shoreline of Lake
Kariba in northern Zimbabwe, the Bumi Hills Foundation head-
quarters is perfectly located centrally within the operating
area facilitating not only effective reaction to any threat to
the natural resources of the area but also convenient access
to the local community programmes facilitated by the Trust.

To date we have established comfortable accommoda-
tion and entertainment areas for all our current employees
employed in both the conservation and community programs,
tented accommodation for visiting professionals and guests,
an informationally secure operations centre equipped with
VSAT internet, digital projection and other electronic facilities,
secure storage areas and a basic gym.

We have also acquired two reliable 4x4 vehicles and a
custom-built patrol boat all equipped with radio communica-
tions, GPS navigation and satelite tracking systems. Keeping
in line with modern trends and our own eco-friendly ethos the
headquarters is powered by a solar inverter system coupled
with solar water heaters and a biological waste management
system.

In order to achieve the goals laid out in this document we
have developed a collection of relevant, structured, specific
and measurable investment opportunities which we hope you
will find attractive.

75% loss of Elephants in the Sebungwe region
since 2006

PAGE 11

In 2009, the Bumi Hills Anti-Poaching Unit (BHAPU) was formed to
combat the issues of diminishing wildlife and environmental degradation
due to heavy poaching, illegal fishing and unmitigated human strain on the
land and water.

More recently, the poaching situation has evolved into a serious threat
with armed gangs operating within the wildlife area and surrounding hunting
areas, targeting predominately Elephant for their ivory but also other large
mammal species to supply the lucrative bushmeat trade.

By December 2016, over 148 Elephant carcasses have been investi-
gated forensically by BHAPU, the majority of which were concluded to be
victims of poaching. And since inception, the Unit has removed over 17,000
wire snares (utilized to trap unknowing wildlife for bushmeat).

Loss of wildlife and environmental degradation can be in part directly
linked to the lack of social and economic opportunities the local population
has available. The plight of both wildlife and people needs to be addressed
for a sustainable and long-term solution to Zimbabwe’s needs.

BUT WE ARE
FIGHTING BACK.

Our mission is to safeguard wildlife and wilderness.
Our vision is to protect all remaining wildlife within the region and
open the door for the return of the species lost.

A N T I - P OAC H I N G

By land or lake, the Bumi Hills Anti-Poaching Unit is committed
to protecting the wildlife and wilderness of this ecologically important
region. From coordinated patrol efforts to the collection of wildlife crime data,
vigilance is key to our continued success.

HUMAN-WILDLIFE CONFLICT

Conflicts rise as human populations increase, natural resources wain, and habitats
shrink. We are committed to mitigating these issues to the benefit of both humans and
wildlife, as well as finding long-term solutions that allow for a more natural coexistence.

WILDLIFE RESEARCH

For long-term conservation initiatives to succeed, there is a need for
more meaningful research to be conducted in the Sebungwe region of
Zimbabwe. The Bumi Hills Foundation strives to fill this gap through studies
of local predators, large mammals, and environmental ecology in the years
to come.

October 2016 UNIT EXPANSION

New Recruits take first steps to becoming fully fledged
Anti-Poaching Rangers during Induction Course

S TAG E 0 1 A selection course aimed at determining whether the recruits have what it takes,
both mentally and physically, to work in the front line of anti-poaching. Activities include
individual evaluations, physical fitness testing, team building and importantly an introduc-
tion to conservation philosophy. All too often rangers accept a position in conservation
because it is a means to earn a living and support their families without understanding the
significance and importance of their role.

This results in the ethics of conservation being left in the workplace and not
continued when the ranger returns home where it is most effective. It is amazing to watch
the proverbial ‘penny drop’ on our recruits faces when topics such as global warming,
overpopulation, habitat destruction and human-wildlife conflict are discussed and how
quickly their attitudes towards the natural environment change.

S TAG E 02 The recruits are taken through the basics of being a ranger and taught some of the
skills necessary to carry out the role effectively. Safety is paramount to any activity carried
out in the wilds of Africa, so this is emphasized repeatedly through course material. The
recruits are given introductions on the behaviour and evasive action of dangerous game,
performing land and water-borne patrols, communication, navigation and effective data
collection.

Since the majority of patrols are carried out on foot, fitness training and physical
exercise become part of the daily routine in camp as does drill which is essential for pro-
moting teamwork and discipline. As lake patrols are part of our normal operations it is vital
that all our rangers are competent swimmers - something the majority are not and in fact
a few have ever swum before.

S TAG E 03 Recruits get a taste of what it feels like to get out into the field and put their
newly learnt skills to the test, under complete supervision from our lead rangers and
teachers. Although they have long way to go yet, each is thriving as they become the vitally
important wildlife guardians that Zimbabwe needs.

S TAG E 0 4 Recruits are put through a First Aid Course specifically designed for guides and
anti-poaching rangers. Matters of personal health and safety, victim assessment, CPR
techniques and correct AED use, treatment of severe bleeding, major wounds, head and
spine injuries, fractures, burns, snake bites, insect stings and heat exposure are all topics
covered during a rigorous three day schedule. The course ends with a real life simulation
where theory is put into practice under pressure.

COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT

H E A LT H C A R E

Affecting every demographic of society, healthcare is a vital component in the well-being
of any community. We aim to collaborate with local government, ministries and other healthcare
organisations to improve the state of the inadequate local healthcare infrastructure and service
provision.

ED UC AT I O N

For long term community upliftment to be achieved it needs to be driven by the
youngest generation of society. Through infrastructural redevelopment, skills support and logistical
assistance we aim to give every child growing up in the community the chance they deserve.

ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT

Aid dependency is a major factor hindering financial and economic development
within the local community. By presenting  the community with more opportunity, through the
provision of skills, tools and financial support, there is huge potential for economic growth within the
Sebungwe Region.

Access to quality healthcare should be an unalienable right for all. Through
collaboration with local government, ministries and other healthcare
organisations, we aim to improve the state of health in Zimbabwe.

INFRASTRUCTURE

A  lack of resources, logistical limitations and a shortage of 01
qualified and experienced manpower has plagued the facilitation of
healthcare in recent years and as a result most facilities are in desperate
need of attention. We intend to focus our efforts on redeveloping and re-
equipping these facilities to a higher and useable standard and by
providing the necessary training and support to ensure that
ongoing preventative healthcare can be achieved for the benefit of the
communities. 

TRAINING

In recent years,  the healthcare sector in Zimbabwe has suffered 02
from an exodus of qualified healthcare professionals. As a result, patient
to healthcare worker ratios are extremely high. We aim to reverse this
trend by providing financial assistance for the employment of qualified
staff and by implementing grassroots level training and awareness for
healthcare workers and the local community with a focus on HIV/AIDS
management and general family planning.

SUPPORT

Logistical support within the healthcare sector in the Sebungwe 03
region is highly inadequate. With just  one working ambulance and a
few motorbikes available for healthcare workers to reach those in need,
the mobility of both healthcare professionals and community members
is sorely lacking. The Foundation  aims to provide assistance through
the provision of a specialised rough terrain ambulance and other
rescue and response vehicles to allow easier access by healthcare workers
attending to emergency situations.

The next generation is key to the long term upliftment of community and
the conservation of wildlife and wilderness. We aim to bolster education in

Zimbabwe by giving every child the opportunities they deserve.

INFRASTRUCTURE

01 Human population growth within the region coupled with a
severe lack of financial support has left the education sector in a poor
state. Much of the infrastructure is dilapidated, equipment broken and
reference material out of date. Some schools don’t have classrooms
and lessons are conducted outside. We aim to provide financial support
towards the development of new infrastructure and the refurbishment
and upgrading of existing infrastructure to ensure a conducive learning
environment is available for all children.

EMPLOYMENT

02 A limited local skills base and very few qualified Tonga-speaking
teachers working in the area means that most lessons being taught
in either Shona or English. Not only does this pose a challenge for
pupils who are being taught in a second language but also threatens the
existence of Batonga customs, traditions and practices. We aim to
support the educational development of the local skills base by
providing financial support towards tertiary education for members
of the local community to reverse this trend and protect the fragile
Batonga culture.

CURRICULUM

03 Inadequate teaching aids, an unsuitable teaching environment
and general a lack of resources   has resulted in most curriculum and
subject matter becoming out of date and not being taught correctly. We
aim to partner with the Ministry of Education and other organisations in
developing more applicable and environmentally conscious curriculums
ensuring that a culture of conservation and environmental awareness
becomes the norm in future generations.

INFRASTRUCTURE

With virtually no opportunity to further their education once they 01
have completed secondary levels, school leavers are then faced with
the enormity of an estimated unemployment rate of 90% in Zimbabwe.
We intend on partnering with local government and other stakehold-
ers to refurbish existing infrastructure as well as develop new tertiary
education facilities for the advancement of higher education.

A DVA N C E M E N T

To begin working towards breaking the circle of poverty prevalent 02
in the local community it is vital that individuals, especially youth, are
given the opportunity to advance their skills through tertiary education
curricula that is situationally-relevant. Improving the overall level of skills
within the region is the first step to developing a self-sustaining eco-
nomic environment for career development.

SME DEVELOPMENT

An abundance of undeveloped land, favourable climatic conditions 03
and natural resources available within the local area. Coupled with newly
learnt skills, the development of successful SME’s and businesses will

nity and internationally recognised microfinance schemes to facilitate
the development and growth of business ventures.

BUMI'S WILD LIONS

Human-wildlife conflict (HWC) poses a serious obstacle to wildlife conservation efforts
worldwide. The most effective way of mitigating any conflict situation is to remove the cause,
the availability of livestock as a prey species in this case through the use of mobile bomas.
A mobile boma replaces traditional bomas with ‘walls’ made from opaque white plastic
sheeting (PVC) which is supported by poles and strung on ropes or cables like a curtain
which is very effective against predators as they are intimidated by the ruse of a flimsy
opaque barrier and therefore will not challenge it.  In fact this system is so effective
that all the livestock from a number of villages can be kept together overnight securely.
In areas where incident rates are very high, community members are trained, equipped and
employed as livestock protectors who augment the boma by physically chasing away any
marauding predators with the use of lights and noisemakers. We aim to provide the community
with 3 mobile bomas to protect the greatest number of livestock and therefore protect wild
lions from retaliatory efforts.
