Community Markets for Conservation (COMACO)

Community Markets for Conservation (COMACO) is a social enterprise supporting wildlife conservation and small-scale farmers, with an office on Kachidza Road in the Light Industrial Area, Lusaka, Zambia. According to its website, which carries its It's Wild! brand, COMACO began in Zambia's Luangwa Valley over 30 years ago. It has established and trained 112 cooperatives and works with more than 335,230 farming families across 84 chiefdoms, and the site reports 2,409 poachers who have surrendered their firearms. COMACO has 19 It's Wild! products on the market, which it says are grown without chemicals using sustainable methods. Its work includes agroforestry, a carbon project, beekeeping, cooperatives, women's empowerment, sustainable agriculture, work with transformed poachers, Farm Talk, and what it calls manufacturing as a tool for conservation.
