Wildlife Crime Prevention is a Zambian based not for profit organisation that works nationally across Zambia, providing support to the Department of National Parks and Wildlife (DNPW)’s Investigation and Intelligence Units. The main goal of WCP is to coordinate closely with key DNPW personnel and NGOs working within National Parks in Zambia to secure areas of elephant strongholds and key transit routes of illegal wildlife trade. 

We are looking for a new intern to join the WCP team. WCP has been working to support DNPW’s Intelligence and Investigations Units (IIUs) to provide support to IIUs nationally. The main goal of WCP is to support IIUs in towns, cities and borders and coordinate closely with key DNPW personnel and NGOs working within National Parks in Zambia and along key transit routes of the illegal wildlife trade in country and cross border. Based centrally in Zambia’s capital city, Lusaka, WCP supports DNPW IIUs nationally working alongside conservation NGOs in Zambia and operating in 9 protected areas and ecosystems. We collaborate with key government and NGO partners in Tanzania, Malawi, Zimbabwe, Uganda, Botswana, and Namibia.

Through its internship program WCP will give a Zambian graduate the opportunity to join the organization and learn more about and contribute to the conservation sector throughout the country. Interns will gain the experience and contacts to establish their own network and career in conservation. This exciting new role will involve working alongside the DNPW and other stakeholder groups.
