Traditional leaders condemn poaching

TRADITIONAL leaders in Kariba district have condemned wildlife poaching in the area, adding that the crime was detrimental to the development of tourism in the district.

Kariba’s tourism is anchored on wildlife, hence the need for conservation, but despite a significant drop in elephant poaching, the practice was rampant among other smaller animals.

Speaking during the Biodiversity Conservation Indaba held in Kariba recently, the traditional leaders called for more action to ensure Zimbabwe protects its natural resources.
