I was honoured to be invited to attend King Charles III's Birthday last evening at the outgoing British High Commissioner to Zambia Residence.

I must say @nkwoolley is such an affable person, and he will be missed by those who interacted with him on many occasions.

Women small scale farmers who live on elephant habitats are economically vulnerable,as they can lose their livelihoods overnight.
Re-launching elephant friendly crops will not only combat human wildlife conflict but provide sustainable incomes. https://t.co/rrTcsLhF1L @wwfzambia
