National parks

This publication aims to give a concise overview of the major natural resource issues facing Zimbabwe. With full colour plates, it provides the non-specialist reader politician, civil servants, decision maker in business or concerned citizen with an authoritative synopsis, and is intended to raise the level of awareness of, and commitment to, the rational management and sustainable use of the country's living natural resources.

The guidelines are intended to provide an outline of major issues which need to be addressed in the process of developing legal instruments for protected areas at national and sub-national level. The Guidelines have been written for legal drafters and other participants in the legislative process who are reviewing, revising, or creating protected areas legislation.
