Community Support Rubatano! ‘Rubatano’ (Unity in the local language Goba) is CLZ’s annual community sports day that brings together local netball and football teams to battle it out on the pitch for the grand prize of being the strongest, fastest and fittest team in the area. On 26 July, CLZ hosted the second Rubatano Day at Kabwadu School in the Chiawa Game Management Area. The event is aimed to promote relationships between the local community members, ZAWA, conservation, lodges and other stakeholders outside of the law enforcement realm with which CLZ is often associated. This year, 15 football teams, 10 netball teams and hundreds of spectators attended the much anticipated event. It was a tough battle, both for footballers and netballers alike – and a successful, fun-filled day for young and old. We would like to thank all our sponsors who made this event possible: Apam Baines River Camp Chongwe Safaris Chakanaka Farms Chiawa Camp Farm Pride Hi-Fi Corp Kanyemba Lodge Kiambi Safaris Mwambashi River Lodge Proflight Zambia Royal Zambezi Lodge Sausage Tree Camp Tunepics Wild Tracks Zambeef 20
Base Camp Accommodation ZAWA$/$CRB$ Members$/$ Donors$ Researchers$ CLZ again hosted a number of donors, members, school children, volunteers, guides and other overnight visitors this year. With a total of 1,342 bed nights spread across the year this earned substantial revenue for Base Camp operations. The majority of bed nights originated from overnighting guides during Safari Guide Training in March, a WWF workshop in November which comprised 25 delegates for four nights as well as school groups. Other$ Pilots$ School$Visit$ Volunteers$ Family$and$ Friends$ 1342 bed nights In July <strong>2015</strong>, light was shed on CLZ’s Environmental Education Centre after the generous solar installation at CLZ base camp undertaken by Empowered by Light. The team from Standard Microgrid spent 10 days at CLZ Base Camp installing the new solar system, that now enables Besa Kaoma to show educational videos without the use of the generator during school visits. This system not only helps operate the EEP centre but it equally powers the entire Base Camp from the kitchen refrigeration to laundry and water pumps, which in turn decreases our carbon footprint. Other than for occasional welding work CLZ Base Camp now runs 100% on solar thus saving approximately US $10,000 per year in fuel and generator maintenance. CLZ is excited for its new relationship and partnership with Empowered by Light where we hope to empower local schools and the surrounding communities through solar power and light. 21
