SEED-Biodiversity will contribute to and catalyze SEED-Tourism initiatives to secure the management and conservation of Critical Species and Habitats (IUCN, 1990) that are of key significance to global biodiversity and to Zambia’s economic development. These initiatives will in turn help to mitigate the root cause of biodiversity loss in Zambia - poverty.
