Zambia's Surveyor-General not obeyed??

On 23 July 2007, the Surveyor-General of Zambia wrote to the Lands and Deeds office instructing that the 99 year lease given out to a businessman for the Mwape section of the West Mvuvye National Forest No. 54 be terminated forthwith. When one of the Mwape people inquired of the lady at the Lands and Deeds office why this had not been done, she replied that she had not written the letter as she had no secretary!!

Dear I.P.A Manning,

I have been directed to your blog as I work with a number of Zambian conservation entities, including Hammer Simwinga, Recipient of the Goldman Environmental Prize 2007, and Steve and Anna Tolan from the Chipembele Wildlife Education Centre. www.safaritalk.net is an initiative bringing together like minded conservation and community initiatives and those interested in helping.

I wonder if you could email me,
safaritalk@netcabo.pt so we could look at how to integrate your knowledge of Zambia's conservation questions into this project.

I look forward to speaking at your convenience,

Best regards
