ʻO Kavango-Zambezi Transfrontier Conservancy Area i kahi ʻē aʻe

ʻO nā hana kūhelu, ma muli o ko lākou ʻano maoli, he ʻano lohi. Ua kūpono ka hana pūlima KAZA ma Victoria Falls i ka bila. Akā ua hana ʻia ke kau inoa ʻana, a ʻo ia kahi hana nui i mua no ka Transfrontier Conservancy Area (TCA) hou loa a nui loa ma ʻApelika.

Ua hoʻokumu ʻia ka Peace Parks Foundation ma 1998 e hoʻomaʻamaʻa i ka hoʻokumu ʻana o nā paka Transfrontier.

Ma nā ʻōlelo a Nelson Mandela, kekahi o nā mea nāna i hoʻokumu i ka Peace Parks: "ʻAʻohe oʻu ʻike i ka neʻe politika, ʻaʻohe manaʻo, ʻaʻohe manaʻo, ʻaʻole i ʻae i ka manaʻo o nā paka maluhia e like me kā mākou e ʻike nei e ulu ana i kēia lā. He manaʻo hiki ke apo ʻia e nā mea a pau. I loko o kahi honua i hoʻopilikia ʻia e nā paio a me nā mokuʻāina, ʻo ka maluhia kekahi o nā pōhaku kihi o ka wā e hiki mai ana. ʻO nā paka maluhia kahi papa kūkulu hale i kēia kaʻina hana, ʻaʻole wale ma ko mākou ʻāina, akā hiki i ka honua holoʻokoʻa.

Ke hana nei ʻo Peace Parks i nā ʻaelike no ka hoʻokumu ʻana i kekahi mau paka/conservancies ʻē aʻe, ʻo Kavango-Zambezi (KAZA) ko lākou makemake nui loa. Pono ʻo KAZA i ka ʻaelike ma waena o nā aupuni ʻelima o Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibi, a me Angola a uhi ʻia kahi ʻāpana ʻoi aku ma mua o 280,000 kilomika square.

Ua kau inoa ʻia ka Zambian Integrated Development Plan (IDP) i Iune 2008, a i kēia manawa ua kau inoa pū ʻia ka IDP Zimbabwe.
