Spanning over 444 000 square kilometer, KAZA is the world’s largest protected conservation and tourism area (over half the size of France). It includes about 40 formally proclaimed national parks, game reserves, community conservancies and game management areas in Angola, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana and Namibia.

A key objective of the KAZA TFCA is to join fragmented wildlife habitats into an interconnected assortment of protected areas and trans-boundary wildlife corridors, which will facilitate and enhance the free movement of animals across international boundaries.

This transfrontier nature park is jointly supported by Germany, Switzerland and the Netherlands together with SADC.

The geographical area for the checklist

The Official Checklist of BIRDS in KAZA TFCA will provide a handy record of birds you can expect to see, where in the region and it provides space for personal record of those birds you have seen.
