In the last 25 years a lot of work has been done in the park, a vast network of roads has been created as well as an excellent tourist-infrastructure, a community conservation centre and the implementation of effective anti-poaching measures. The Trust employs about 90 local staff and does a lot of outreach work within the surrounding communities and amongst other things; sponsors the secondary education of promising local students, educates farmers on more effective alternative farming practises and teaches them how to employ chilli-fences to keep elephants out of their fields. The Trust also operates Shoebill Island Camp in the Bangweulu Wetlands. In 2011 Kasanka Trust began operations in the undeveloped and depleted 1,600 km<sup>2</sup> [[Lavushi Manda National Park]] with assistance from the [[World Bank]]. | In the last 25 years a lot of work has been done in the park, a vast network of roads has been created as well as an excellent tourist-infrastructure, a community conservation centre and the implementation of effective anti-poaching measures.
