Conservation and Forest Management in the Mafinga Hills Priority Key Biodiversity Area of Zambia

WECSZ will work to help implement the initial stages of the Conservation Action Plan for the Mafinga Hills. This will include informing local communities of prohibitions against slash-and-burn within protected landscapes, cultivation and planting of native tree species on 400 hectares of riparian corridor, training of 45 residents from three villages in beekeeping, and facilitation of sales agreements between the communities and purchasers of honey.
