At the recent scoping meeting, 'twas said by NHCC...

Director for Conservation Services at the National Heritage Conservation Commission, Francis Shalwiindi said the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization UNESCO World Heritage Centre may withdraw the World Heritage status on the Victoria Falls and the surrounding area if the project goes ahead.

Mr. Shalwiindi said UNESCO has already written to the NHCC expressing its concerns over the proposed project and asked why Zambia is abrogating international and regional conventions.
