In 2023, the Bangweulu Shoebill Nest Protection Programme educated over 1,500 people and involved 26 community members in guarding 13 shoebill nests, leading to the rescue and rehabilitation of 12 shoebill chicks over the past two years. The park management also collaborates with six community chiefdoms to sustainably manage resources. You can find more details in our 2023 Annual Report: https://t.co/utbfnmXvVY
