Lusaka Zambia: Zambia has a proactive 2015 Forest Act that brings together stakeholders, including local people, to manage and conserve the nation’s forests. However, substantial deforestation is being caused by mineral mining, logging of indigenous species like as rosewood and African teak, and conversion of forest areas for agriculture.

Is there anything you can do to help the environment? 

According to Abel Siampale, the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) Zambia forestry program manager, the origins of key river basins such as the Zambezi, Luangwa, and Kafue are in jeopardy as the country’s natural zones fluctuate.
