Supporting rural livelihoods through wildlife management and community forests
COMACO, Community Markets for Conservation, is a social enterprise that supports wildlife conservation and small-scale farmers in Eastern Zambia. With the USAID-funded Integrated Land and Resource Governance Project, COMACO is strengthening community-based forest and wildlife management within two chiefdoms in Nyimba District. Thanks to USAID support, community forest management groups are registering their rights to natural resources and testing an approach to establish a community-managed game ranch.
