    Dear All My header is a ground hornbill caught on camera by a camera trap in Lower Zambezi. This is a bit sparse in news. My computer woes continued with my laptop crashing leaving me without any computer for about a week. Then Gordon brought my ‘new’ PC which is fantastic but after one day my monitor died! Yesterday I got another monitor so I am working again … what can go wrong next? LIVINGSTONE K300 FOR OVERNIGHT PRAYERS! – L/STONE COUNCIL INTRODUCES CHARGES FOR SPECIAL EVENTS INCLUDING CHURCH CRUSADES Times of Zambia The Livingstone City Council has started charging churches K300 for holding overnight prayer meetings and crusades, a move which has not been received well by churches. … Livingstone City Council public relations manager Melvin Mukela said it was the responsibility of the council to charge the public for all functions that took place in the district, saying churches were not excluded in the exercise. Mr Mukela said the K300 was meant to help the council monitor the gatherings and buy stationery for the permits. “This council is not targeting any person or church but it is the policy of the council to charge any person or grouping that assembles at any particular place to promote a particular cause,” Mr Mukela said. “When there is a gathering, a lot of things happen; so our offi cers will have to monitor the place and that money is used to buy fuel for the offi cers and stationary to process the documents for them to hold such functions.” … G: We are seeing several ways for the council to collect funds from the pubic – these ‘event’ fees, parking fees, Council levy at the border … but we don’t even see the drains being cleaned … ZAMBIA New National Airline According to the news the Zambia government has approved the starting of a new national airline to be called Zambia Airways and will work in cooperation with Ethiopian Airlines with two planes to run the domestic and southern African routes.

    Dear All My header is a lion - one of three lionesses we saw on a trip through Zambezi National Park, next to Victoria Falls Town, last week. We also saw a honey badger - a very special treat. I had decided that I hadn’t been through the park for many years and, as it was on my doorstep, it was inexcusable. We spent the morning driving along the riverside drive and then in the afternoon ‘did’ Chamabonda Vlei. Highly recommended.

    4. Draft Code for Transboundary Protected Areas in Times of Peace and Armed Conflict

    4. Draft Code for transboundary protected areas in times of peace and armed conflict Explanatory notes This Draft Code is offered to neighbouring States, jurisdictions and other stakeholders concerned with the establishment and management of TBPAs. It may be used in its present form or as a basis for developing a comparable code suited to the particular needs of a country or region. IUCN would welcome requests for technical assistance in interpreting the Draft Code and applying it to particular local or regional circumstances. It is recommended that the Draft Code be made widely available to protected area authorities, key sectoral agencies, the armed forces (including border and coast guards), local governments, relevant non-governmental organisations, the media and other inter- ested parties, especially in border regions. A supportive education programme will be needed for this Draft Code to reflect the aims and guide the actions of all concerned interests. Awareness-building should be carried out on a continuing basis with all sectors of society, to foster broad acceptance of the need to conserve biodiversity and ecosystem services and to protect the integrity of TBPAs, even in emergency situations. Rationale for the Draft Code The Draft Code aims to contribute to the progressive development of legal and insti- tutional frameworks for the establishment and management of TBPAs in times of peace or armed conflict. Context Many States, sub-national units and autonomous areas share at least one land, freshwater or marine boundary. These boundaries were usually established for political or other social reasons, without reference to land or water systems.
