Why we exist
Every day Zambia loses part of its Biodiversity through land use and economic activities such as agriculture, forestry, mining and infrastructure development to meet the growing population’s demand. With over 80% of the total population depending on natural resources for food, fuel, income and raw materials, Zambia’s wildlife, forests, fisheries, minerals, water bodies and land risk depletion and degradation, to the extent where we need to take urgent action to avoid total depletion and extinction of species. Further climate change has emerged as one of the most pressing challenges in Zambia affecting both social and economic development and increasing the threats to poverty.
