Nokuthaba Dlamini ·
THE European Union (EU) has pledged to provide €15 million for irrigation projects and the erection of electric fences around game parks located close to human settlements to minimise human-wildlife conflicts.
Environment, Water and Climate minister Oppah Muchinguri revealed the plans during a recent public meeting in Hwange after villagers demanded compensation for loss of livestock to lions and hyenas straying from the country’s largest wildlife conservancy.
She said an inter-ministerial committee has been set up to do the groundwork.
