Zambia
We've a thought that comes 'n goes, a drifting thought about the beginnings,
ancient beginnings, an 'old world when all was green'.
The ancient peoples now call it 'a Zambezi world'. Others call it 'the Great Rift Valley'
where the Continent was hewn. 'Humanity's Birthplace'.
An eco world of the ancient ones calls to us.

Extreme Pollution, Colonial Legacy of Mining
"In the villages near Africa’s biggest copper mine, you can smell and taste the pollution. A legal battle against the giant metal firm Vedanta/KCM has reached as far as London, while villagers around the mines tell of blighted lives and a looming catastrophe...
For decades, Zambia has staked its economic fortunes on copper mining. But when voters in this southern African nation go to the polls in January to select a new president, at least one candidate will be looking to send that tradition up in smoke.
On Friday, Peter Sinkamba will announce his candidacy on the Green party ticket.
At stake is an opportunity to diversify Zambia’s economy while beginning to clean up the environmental degradation left by close to a century of intensive opencast mining.

It supports large populations of Thornicroft's Giraffe, and herds of elephant and buffalo often several hundred strong, while the Luangwa River supports abundant crocodiles and hippopotamuses. It is one of the best-known national parks in Africa for walking safaris.
