  1. Vor 144 Jahren im Jahr 1873 starb David Livingstone in Chitambo am Bangweulusee in Sambia. Er war ein schottischer Missionar und einer der bekanntesten Afrikaforscher des 19. Jahrhunderts, der als erster Europäer u. a. die Victoriafälle des Sambesi „entdeckte“. Geboren wurde er am 19. März 1813 in Blantyre bei Glasgow in Schottland. Daneben ist Sambia der Sterbeort von Dag Hammarskjöld, der hier im Alter von 56 Jahren starb

  2. Destroing forrests for charcoal…Waterpollution by the Mines…Kabwe one of the dirtiest town due to pollution from the mines…Kafue full of smoke…Plasticbottles all over the country.And the Ambassador says Zambia is committed playing a part in protecting the ecosystem?What do you say??????

  3. What a waste of time. The african knows so little about climate change. Africans themselves should have conferences on natural resource preservation. They dont even know how to monitor climate change. The western world has to bring in the equipment for that.
