A jury representing five FSS partner organisations selected the three KfW Stiftung Fellows who will receive funding to bring their projects to life. This year’s grants go to Zambia, Guyana and Madagascar!
👏 One of the 2025 grant winners is Jacob Mphasi 🇿🇲 from Zambia. His project focuses on enhancing fence management in North Luangwa National Park to protect the critically endangered black rhino by:
✅ Improving the monitoring of existing fences to detect and repair damage efficiently
✅ Piloting innovative fencing solutions that allow natural wildlife movement
✅ Strengthening overall protection for black rhino populations
This project demonstrates how smart, adaptive infrastructure can support both species recovery and broader ecosystem integrity — helping conservation efforts thrive in complex landscapes.
