Feature: Wetland preservation promotes healthy ecosystems in Zimbabwe's capital

HARARE, June 24 (Xinhua) -- Located in the northwestern region of Harare, Zimbabwe's capital, the 500-hectare Monavale Vlei remains a well-protected wetland that offers a serene retreat for nature enthusiasts, thanks to the dedicated efforts of a local conservation group.

As wetlands in Harare face challenges from urban development, the Monavale wetland remains well-preserved, said Jimmy Muropa, an officer with the Conservation Society of Monavale (COSMO), a community organization established to protect and restore the Monavale wetland.
