Today, 22 May, marks the International Day for Biological Diversity, recognised internationally in acknowledgment of the importance of protecting ecosystems, wildlife, natural resources and sustainable development.As Africa continues experiencing growth in:* infrastructure;* investment;* mining;* agriculture;* property development;* and regional commerce,the importance of balancing development with environmental responsibility continues becoming increasingly significant.Modern legal practice now increasingly intersects with:* environmental governance;* land use regulation;* sustainability considerations;* conservation frameworks;* property development;* and responsible commercial expansion.At Dzekedzeke and Company, we recognise the growing importance of legal and institutional frameworks capable of supporting sustainable and responsible development within Zambia and the broader African region.The future of African growth and investment will increasingly depend not only upon economic progress, but also upon responsible stewardship of the environments and ecosystems upon which future generations will continue to depend.— Dzekedzeke and CompanyAdvocates | Legal Consultants | Corporate Advisors | Intellectual Property Consultants
