Our Core Mission

To protect and preserve Zanzibar's unique ecosystems while fostering sustainable community engagement and education, ensuring that both the local population and wildlife thrive together in a balanced and resilient environment.

As Zanzibar's only national park, we are committed to protecting the rare Zanzibar red colobus monkey and other endemic species, preserving the delicate mangrove ecosystems, and maintaining the ecological balance of this precious natural habitat.

Our work focuses on three key pillars: conservation, education, and sustainable tourism.

Our Strategic Pillars

Guiding principles that shape our conservation efforts

Conservation

Protecting the park's unique biodiversity including the endangered Zanzibar red colobus monkey and fragile mangrove ecosystems through active habitat preservation and species monitoring.

Sustainability

Promoting eco-tourism practices that minimize environmental impact while maximizing educational value and financial support for conservation programs.

Community

Engaging local communities in conservation efforts through education programs, sustainable livelihood initiatives, and equitable benefit-sharing from tourism revenue.

"In protecting the unique ecosystems of Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park, we are not just preserving wildlife—we are safeguarding Zanzibar's natural heritage for future generations, ensuring that both people and nature thrive together in sustainable harmony."
