Zimbabwe wildlife is indeed one of the best reserves of the world and a trademark of the African wildlife. The natural landscape provides for ideal rain forest tourism in Zimbabwe. Like rain forests in other parts of the world, the Zimbabwean rain forests too have been facing considerable threat. This is not only due to global warming but also because of problem of poaching in the area. The Zimbabwean government is to be criticized for the increasing damage done to the wildlife of Zimbabwe. The forests of Zimbabwe has always been subjected to overgrazing, and too much to soil erosion due to logging of rare trees and too much rain.
There are several travel agencies that take tourists for visit to this amazing rain forest which has been declared by UNESCO as a world heritage site. The Zimbabwe rain forests are home to several species of animals and plants. Some to them are endemic to the area and need to be protected. Elephants, hippopotamus, lions, baboons, crocodile, sable elephant, vervet monkey, water bucks impalas and much more. There are more than 400 species of birds and 100 mammals.
The wildlife conservation organizations that have been functional in safeguarding the Zimbabwe wildlife include Wildlife & Environment Zimbabwe (WEZ) and Wild Life Conservation Society.
