The Africa Wildlife Foundation (AWF) has called for the formulation of uniform trans-boundary laws to curb problems of wild animals and environmental conservation. AWF said this would benefit countries that have wildlife.
Speaking in an interview in Livingstone yesterday, AWF project manager Nesbert Samu said it was difficult to deal with such problems because all the countries had different laws regarding the protection of wildlife and benefiting the people.
Mr Samu said there was need for political will to ensure that wild life and the will of lands endured forever.
"There is need to harmonize the laws so that we protect the animals to benefit the countries with wildlife," Mr Samu said.
He however called for concerted efforts in the protection of wildlife so that the potential remained unspoiled.
Mr Samu urged the local communities to actively participate in the protection of wild life and environmental conservation because they were the custodians of the natural resources.
He said that there was also need to strengthen efforts to ensure a balance between environmental conservation and development.
