Meet Dries Van de Loock, a biologist leading WeForest’s restoration efforts in Zambia’s Muchinga Province. Dries coordinates the implementation of projects aimed at reconnecting ecosystems between Lavushimanda National Park and the Luangwa Valley, restoring miombo woodlands, protecting vital wildlife corridors, and supporting green economic opportunities for communities.

Camera trapping plays a key role in this work, helping monitor wildlife presence, track biodiversity, and understand how different species use the landscape. In this interview, Dries walks us through the ABCs of camera trapping, highlights some of our biggest wins in Lavushimanda so far, and shares his top advice for any organization looking to use camera traps for the first time.
