European Union

The Member States of the European Union have decided to link together their know-how, resources and destinies. Together, they have built a zone of stability, democracy and sustainable development whilst maintaining cultural diversity, tolerance and individual freedoms. The European Union is committed to sharing its achievements and its values with countries and peoples beyond its borders. 

IUCN Save Our Species, co-funded by the European Union supports IFAW’s Protecting Panda Masuie project in Zimbabwe. The agencies help contribute to ensuring rangers tasked with protecting the Panda Masuie Forestry Reserve have the skills, training and equipment they need to protect many animal species - including a number included on the IUCN Red List - from wildlife crime. The project also supports initiatives that support the well-being of communities and ensure they are able to coexist peacefully with wildlife.
