Now that a moratorium has been placed on all new developments in the Mosi oa Tunya NP - including Legacy Holdings' hotel plans, and that Government has promised to revisit the IUCN plan together with all stakeholders starting in February 2007, it was time to plan the future management of the National Park, but also of the world heritage site as a whole. IUCN is also due to make its report soon on the way forward.
As part of the strategy to move towards a management trust made up of all stakeholders, contact was made with the World Mounuments Foundation (http://wmf.org/) and the Global Heritage Fund, (http://www.globalheritagefund.org/), both of which serve to preserve sites of importance to mankind.
An application has been made to have the Victoria Falls World Heritage Site listed on the 2008 World Monuments Watch of the 100 most endangered sites, and to the Global Heritage Fund for financial support.
