About The Project
The Frankfurt Zoological Society (FZS) is a global conservation organization dedicated to protecting biodiversity and wilderness areas through sustainable resource management, partnerships, and promoting environmental and social equity. In Zambia, we have been working in partnership with the Department of National Parks and Wildlife (DNPW) for nearly 40 years in North Luangwa National Park and, since 2017, in Nsumbu National Park through the Nsumbu Tanganyika Conservation Programme (NTCP).
NTCP focuses on resource protection, field operations, ecological monitoring, endangered species recovery, and community engagement in governance, livelihoods, and Human-Wildlife Coexistence. With Nsumbu National Park’s ecosystem on the path to recovery, key milestones include the return of lions in 2024 and a planned black rhino reintroduction. NTCP is also exploring extension opportunities within the broader Nsumbu-Mweru landscape.
