In August 2008, the Wild Horizons Wildlife Trust began training twenty young men from the local community to become Anti-Poaching Game Scouts.  The gentlemen were selected through the community senior kraal heads and Wild Horizons Wildlife Trust Management.  When the training exercise first began the young men had not had much experience and most had not held down a job in many years.  Over the course of six weeks, the men were trained in everything from poacher apprehension to GPS navigation.  It is now three years down the line and this unit is responsible for all of the anti-poaching and security at this time.  Joint anti-poaching operations have also been undertaken with other private units and ZNPMA.  More

Each of the schools in Victoria Falls town boasts an established environmental club. 20 students per week involved in their school's environmental club participate in an activity for an “Interaction and Awareness” experience.
