Abstract
This report was prepared to inform discussion and decision-making around the proposed Kangaluwi Mine open-pit copper project (‘the Project”) within the Lower Zambezi National Park in Zambia (“LZNP”). The Project proposal sets a precedent for international large scale mining inside national parks in Zambia, and at the time of this report was the subject of a High Court appeal. Communities, stakeholders and independent experts have expressed concerns that bring into question the legitimacy of the Project proposal, and whether it is in the best interests of Zambia for the Project to proceed.
