Zimbabwe plans to welcome leaders from across Southern Africa next year at a major conservation meeting. The Southern African Development Community will gather experts for their Transfrontier Conservation Areas event from May 18 through May 21, 2025. Everyone will meet at the Harare International Conference Centre to discuss nature protection across country borders.
These special protected areas help wildlife, plants, and local people by connecting nature across different countries. Zimbabwe Parks officials say these projects protect important animals and wild places. They also bring money to local areas, help countries work together, and create jobs for nearby communities.
Many important people will attend this big meeting, including current presidents, former leaders, tribal chiefs, and nature experts from all over the region. They want to make stronger promises about protecting these areas, find more money for conservation work, and connect different types of businesses to help the environment.
The countries hope to create new plans lasting until 2033, sign fresh agreements for more protected areas, and secure money from international partners. Officials will check how well countries cooperate on existing projects. Zimbabwe already participates in six out of eighteen cross-border conservation areas in Southern Africa.
The meeting celebrates twenty-five years of countries working together to protect nature across borders. All these efforts aim to save Southern Africa's amazing animals and plants for future generations, especially helping Zimbabwean citizens who live near these protected areas.
