Victory at last in West Mvuvye National Forest...!!

The Lands and Deeds office has cancelled the 99 year lease obtained by Z. Patel for the Mwape section of the West Mvuvye National Forest; and the Royal Luembe Trust has withdrawn its application for the alienation of the Luembe section of the same forest. The Luembe Conservancy Trust and the Trust soon to be formed in Mwape, will now be able to resume their attempts to manage the area for the benefit of the community and the forest itself. And we will continue to resist any attempts to de-gazette the forest.
