In 2022, GRI opened a unique and immersive Wildlife Discovery Centre in Lusaka National Park. The centre not only provides free conservation education to over 5,000 children every year but is also the new home of our renowned Elephant Nursery. Fully accessible to all, the Wildlife Discovery Centre will welcome an estimated 40,000 local and international visitors each year to immerse themselves in interactive displays and exhibits that will highlight conservation issues and the efforts to resolve them. Through the centre, GRI aims to make a significant long-term contribution to the protection of wildlife and wild spaces by showcasing Zambia’s natural wealth, increasing environmental awareness and inspiring greater conservation stewardship.
