Zambia has been experiencing adverse impacts of climate change. Generation of climate information about changes in future precipitation and temperature is useful in designing adaptive measures. Currently, global climate models (GCMs) are primary tools utilized to simulate the present and future...

Present-day research recognises the critical role played by local government institutions and NGOs at meso-level in supporting adaptation to climate change in rural areas. In Zambia, however, much attention is heavily focused on natural science and economic analyses studies on climate change,...

Climate variability and change are likely to continue bringing new weather patterns that pastoralists are unfamiliar with in view of increasing temperatures and prolonged flood or drought conditions. Thus, a study involving one hundred and twenty pastoralists was conducted in Namwala District in...

The objective of the study was to provide a holistic evaluation of the impacts of deforestation on ecosystem services in Kamfinsa sub-catchment of Kitwe in Zambia. Loss of forest biomass, biodiversity, and soil erosion were key proxy variables for loss of ecosystem services. Geographical...

Climate change, construction of the Mongu-Kalabo Road coupled with increased mining activities in the upper catchment of the Barotse Wetland could alter the inundation extent dynamics and impact the flood dependent ecosystem. There is very little information available in public domain on...

Siavonga district has for the last two decades experienced rainfall that is declining, unpredictable and poorly distributed and increasing temperatures. Climate impact studies on Lake Kariba Kapenta fish stocks show that increased temperature and reduced rainfall are the main climatic factors...

The genesis of this study comes from the realization that little was known about the role of traditional environmental knowledge among Lozi adults in mitigating climate change in the Barotse plains of Mongu District, Western Zambia. Climate change has indeed emerged as the most prominent global...

The study's main objective was to carry out an appraisal of the communication modes and messages used by the Forest Department in curbing deforestation in National Forest Reserves. Kalulu Forest, in Kabwe, Central Province was chosen for the case study. Kalulu Forest was made a National Reserve...

Abstract Visualizing Wildlife Conservation and Development in Southern Africa: A Multi-Optic Approach by Andrew Lyons Doctor of Philosophy in Environmental Science Policy and Management University of California, Berkeley Professor Wayne Getz, Chair The relationships between people and natural...

Zambia, where annual rainfall is moderate to meagre over large parts of the country, and year to year variations are large, unpredictable weather can prove to be a serious obstacle to stable and systematic agricultural production. For effective agricultural planning on a rational and scientific...
