WWF, Zambian bank partner to plant 10,000 trees to secure source of major river

LUSAKA, Nov. 15 (Xinhua) -- The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) has partnered with Stanbic Bank Zambia, a local bank, to plant 10,000 trees at the source of the Zambezi River, one of the country's largest rivers, according to a statement released Wednesday.

The initiative to plant trees at the source of Africa's fourth longest river in the Ikelenge district in northwestern Zambia was a continuation of the "Let's Secure the Zambezi" campaign which has been running for the past two years to tackle the devastating effect of climate change.
