It will also contribute to reducing the impacts on the land-based activities on the Maputo Bay which is a critical ecosystem. Collaboration between the Incomati and Maputo River Basin Commission, Lubombo Transfrontier Conservation Area, Nairobi Convention Secretariat and relevant ministries and departments in the three participating countries will be strengthened to ensure interventions on water resources management are well linked with priorities for biodiversity conservation in the area to contribute to improved management of coastal areas and reduce pollution of marine ecosystems from land sources. Without the project the business-as-usual approach of uncoordinated planning and management of terrestrial ecosystems and coastal and marine ecosystems will perpetuate environmental insecurity, leading to loss of livelihoods that depend heavily on natural resources. It will also have a huge impact on wildli…
