The killing of six elephants in the Gwayi - Shangani conservancy highlights a poaching crisis that is intricately linked to #illicit wildlife trade. This poses severe danger to the survival of these iconic species and calls for immediate, concerted efforts to stop these criminal activities!

Read the @ZELA_Infor statement on this unfortunate occurrence, detailing our collaborative efforts to combat poaching and recommendations for better protection of our #wildlife resources - https://t.co/MKUGRkKcYq

Dont you think...

[Zimbabwe Environmental Law Organisation (ZELO) @ZELO_Infor]

Community inclusion is indispensable in carbon credit trading discussions and in the design and implementation of carbon credit projects. Several factors make community #participation and inclusion important. #Community participation and sustainability are now viewed as treasured concepts in the carbon credit market. It is said that the inclusion of community benefits and #sustainable development goals in the design and implementation of carbon credit projects increases the value of carbon credits on the carbon credit market or exchanges.

/Many countries have paid insufficient attention to the apportionment of revenues amongst forest governance actors, and most benefit-sharing arrangements lack clarity as a result.#Zimbabwe has not yet adopted national legislation to regulate the carbon markets. However, the country developed a Carbon Credit Framework to promote, institutionalise and regulate trade in carbon on both the Compliance Market under the #ParisAgreement and the Voluntary Market governed by independent bodies.

[Zimbabwe Environmental Law Organisation (ZELO) @ZELO_Infor]

/In previous years, a lot of carbon credit projects started without adequate attention to community needs, #free prior informed consent and without respect to #environmental concerns or land tenure rights.  In Latin America for example, it has been reported that in the Amazon Basin where indigenous people live, carbon projects have not yet succeeded in providing Indigenous Peoples access to financial benefits from the protection of the carbon in their forests.

[Zimbabwe Environmental Law Organisation (ZELO) @ZELO_Infor]

/Globally, businesses are increasingly accounting for their emissions by buying carbon credits from certified activities or projects that support #communitydevelopment, protect the #environment , and reduce or remove emissions from the atmosphere. All this is based on #carbondioxide which one may not see or touch. The carbon credits are supposed to be measurable, verifiable emission reductions from climate action projects. It is now generally accepted that carbon trading is supposed to bring benefits to communities, protect ecosystems, restore forests, or reduce reliance on fossil fuels.

[Zimbabwe Environmental Law Organisation (ZELO) @ZELO_Infor]

/A Carbon Credits Exchange Platform was also launched in Victoria Falls. Carbon markets are trading systems where #carboncredits are bought and sold based on the trade of one carbon representing one tonne of carbon dioxide reduced or removed from affecting the climate.

[Zimbabwe Environmental Law Organisation (ZELO) @ZELO_Infor]

/Carbon Credit Markets around the world are emerging as important platforms connecting commerce, climate change, emission reduction or removal, sustainability, and #ecosystem #protection. With two carbon credit projects that have been verified and listed on carbon credit markets namely Kariba REDD+ and the Cookstoves project, as well as several pending applications subject to the new Carbon Credit Framework requirements, #Zimbabwe has not been left behind in the carbon credit trading race.

International #PlasticBagFreeDay, 3 July – raises awareness about the harmful impacts of single-use plastic bags on the environment and the need for worldwide action to reduce reliance on plastic bags #BeatPlasticPollution #breakfreefromplatic

According to a study by ETH Zurich, trees can counteract climate change more effectively than previously thought. There would still be room for a third of the current forest area on earth. This would also not affect cities or agricultural areas, the researchers wrote in "Science"

I always have to wonder how long it takes humanity to understand that we are part of nature and not the other way around. Clean water, fresh air, forests, wetlands and oceans that store carbon and produce oxygen. And..... nature delights us with its wonderful sight❤️💚🌱🌿☘️🌲🌳

We must act urgently to address climate change – our earth is on fire. Don't wait for someone else to take action. Together we can make a difference.#ActNow

[Hanifah Anna @Ann6Shannel]

Climate change is causing devastating effects such as rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and loss of biodiversity. We can save the earth by taking action to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels like oil and transition to renewable energy sources. #SaveTheEarth
