"It’s now official. The lower Zambezi-Mana basins have acquired the status of
transboundary conservation area (TCA). This is the result of a memorandum of
understanding signed on 26 May 2023 by the Zimbabwean Minister for the
Environment, Climate, Tourism and the Hospitality Industry, Ngobizitha
Mangaliso Ndlovu, and the Zambian Minister for Tourism, Rodney M. Sikumba.
In addition to formalising the status of the TCA, the signing of this
memorandum of understanding reflects the desire of the two southern African
countries to promote the concerted and sustainable management of shared
resources. “This initiative creates new opportunities for our governments,
local communities and stakeholders to advance sustainable development agendas
and ensure that tangible benefits are shared equitably by all participants,”
explains Minister Ngobizitha Mangaliso Ndlovu. For Minister Rodney M. Sikumba,
the TCA is a benefit for both communities and nature. “This act will inevitably
promote peace and stability, guarantee the sustainable use of natural
resources, ensure economic development and improve environmental protection”,
he explains."
