Zimparks flags mining activities in parks

THE Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority (ZimParks) has voiced  concern over a growing number of entities seeking to conduct mining operations within national parks across the country.

The authority warned that the trend posed a threat to Zimbabwe’s conservation efforts and the country’s vital tourism sector.

ZimParks corporate secretary Nyasha Mutyambizi revealed this when she appeared before the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Tourism and Hospitality Industry on Monday this week.
