[Lighthouse Foundation Bemoans Continuous Poisoning of Water and Environmental Damage at Mining Plants on the Copperbelt]
[Copperbelt, Zambia] - The Lighthouse Foundation founder, Emily Nalwamba , has expressed her deep concern over the continuous poisoning of water and environmental damage at some mining plants located on Copperbelt, Zambia. The absence of government intervention has resulted in an increasing number of environmental catastrophes that threaten the livelihoods of many communities in the region.
Recently, the Zambia Land Alliance made a distressing discovery on Friday of dead fish, contaminated water, and dying vegetation as a result of mining activity. This is the fourth time this year alone that this occurrence has been reported. Such environmental damage has the potential to deeply impact the health and well-being of the people who depend upon these resources, as well as the long-term viability of the land and the ecological systems that rely on them.
Nalwamba contends that regulatory bodies like the Zambia Environmental Management Agency-ZEMA and the Water Resources Management Authority-WARMA have been ineffective in preventing the unlawful release of harmful compounds into rivers and the environment. "The government must take necessary actions against mining companies that are endangering aquatic life and the livelihoods of those who depend on these resources," she said.
The Lighthouse Foundation is committed to ensuring that such environmental destruction is stopped and the affected communities have access to sustainable and healthy living conditions. The Foundation calls on all governmental regulatory bodies to take appropriate and immediate actions to protect the environment and to enforce all the laws and regulations that govern mining operations in Zambia.
