The Conservation Initiative of Ven-Africa (CIVA) is a non-profit organization based in Zululand, South Africa.
This institution’s mission is to improve the wild area of the Mkuze Valley so it can become a wildlife sanctuary for native species, as well as a platform for education, research, and community development. CIVA works to create a communal area with self-sustaining wildlife where people, flora, and fauna alike can thrive; an unspoiled sanctuary that is an asset for the region, as well as the world.
