Why Zambia's key water resources face an eminent threat.
Manage episode 363420603 series 3321749
In order to manage and safeguard the nation's forests, Zambia has a proactive 2015 forest act that brings together stakeholders, including local communities. However, extensive deforestation is being caused by the prospecting for new minerals, the logging of indigenous trees like rosewood and African teak, and the conversion of forest area for agriculture. The origins of significant river basins like the Zambezi, Luangwa, and Kafue are in danger, according to Abel Siampale, the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) Zambia forestry program manager, as the nation is already seeing shifting ecological zones.
