Even an entire society, a nation, or all simultaneously existing societies taken together, are not owners of the earth, they are simply its possessors, its beneficiaries, and have to bequeath it in an improved state to succeeding generations, as boni patres familias (good heads of the household).

    Meeting the Challenges of Climate Change toTourism in Africa and theDevelopingWorld LUSAKA, ZAMBIA • 15-20 MAY, 2011 HOSTED BY Ministry of Tourism, Environment and Natural Resources, Zambia ORGANIZED BY International Institute for Peace through Tourism A MESSAGE FROM H.E. RUPIAH BWEZANI BANDA, PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF ZAMBIA CONFERENCE PATRON I am delighted to announce that the Government of Zambia and the International Institute for Peace through Tourism (IIPT), will be hosting the 5th IIPT African Conference in Lusaka, Zambia, from 15-20 May, 2011. Zambia last hosted the Conference in 2005, and we are greatly honoured that we have been given the privilege to host the event again in 2011. The hosting of the event in Zambia gives us an opportunity to add fresh impetus to the drive to fully develop the tourism sector. Zambia recognises the important role that tourism can play in the economic and social development of Africa and the developing world. Tourism also helps to foster peace in the world as every traveller is essentially a peace ambassador. Let me take this opportunity to therefore invite stakeholders in tourism from all over the world to come to the Conference in Zambia and showcase models of best practice in mitigating and addressing the anticipated impacts of climate change to tourism in Africa and the developing world. I hope that you will attend this important Conference and I look forward to welcoming you to Lusaka. H.E. Rupiah Bwezani Banda President of the Republic of Zambia A MESSAGE FROM HON. CATHERINE NAMUGALA, MP, MINISTER OF TOURISM, ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES Distinguished invited delegates, welcome to Zambia and in particular to the 5th IIPT African Conference.

  • Protected Area System Master Plan
    FOREWORD The Protected Areas (PAs) management in Zambia has suffered a number of setbacks for various reasons. These largely include limited financial and human resources, limited institutional capacity and inadequate sectoral laws. However, even the limited ranges of PA categories have had their own telling effects. In an effort to address some of the highlighted shortcomings, the Government of the Republic of Zambia (GRZ) commenced the Reclassification and Effective Management of the National Protected Areas System (REMNPAS) Project in 2006. The Project is examining and will put in place appropriate policy, regulatory and governance frameworks in order to provide new tools for Public-Private-Community and Civil Society management partnerships. The Project also aims at enhancing and strengthening the existing institutional capacities for improved Protected Areas representation, monitoring and evaluation including business and investment planning. The Government of the Republic of Zambia is piloting the initiative of devolving management responsibility to effective partnerships involving local communities. This is achieved by attracting private finance to help in the protection of PAs in a long term commitment. To a greater extent this assures PAs of sustainable finance and that way the Public Private Community Partnership approach secures promise for their future. Ironically, private finance could not be secured to support PAs in their current form. It therefore means that for private sector to participate with confidence, and make investment, a number of issues ought to be addressed starting with the review of the national legislation and in the process expand on the categories of PAs. It is clear that there are limited PA categories in Zambia, and these are not attractive enough to inspire private sector investment.
