Abstract
This document discusses the role of traditional chiefs and religious practitioners in land conservation. It draws on observations of an afforestation program (the establishment of a forest where none previously existed) launched by the Association of Zimbabwean Traditional Ecologists in Masvingo province. The program is interpreted as a success, suggesting that traditional authorities can revitalize Africa's age-old religious and ecological values.
