Environmental degradation is increasingly becoming a major threat to human life in the semi-arid areas of Zimbabwe. This has been due to lack of sound environmental management systems at community level and unsustainable ( ... )
ltural farming practices and the ever-increasing population density in most communal areas of Zimbabwe where 60% of the country's population resides. This has resulted in between 50 - 80 tonnes of of soil per hectare being lost and deposited in the country's water courses(Draft National Environment Policy, 2003) resulting in the siltation of major intranational rivers.
