About the project
Project Unesco Environmental Uprooting Lantana Camara
📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
One of the most spectacular waterfalls, Mosi-oa-Tunya / Victoria Falls, is currently suffering from the invasive lantana camara species, outcompeting the local indigenous flora and threatening the site’s ecosystem. As such, the main objective of the project is to eradicate this plant and restore the balance of biodiversity.
💼 What the programme involves
Under the technical guidance of Environment Africa and the support of the various ministries, the volunteers will remove the lantana camara species in an eco-friendly manner while observing the flora diversity and recognizing the various on-site species. Additionally, they will conduct on-site clean-up work and renovate a pathway that will contribute to the site’s preservation and accessibility. The collaboration of volunteers and local communities in drafting practical biodiversity management guidelines and other promotional events through different channels will further enhance the awareness about the site and the impact of biodiversity, which will act as an incentive in calling for more future cooperation among different stakeholders of the society during the process of the preservation of natural heritage.
