On June 5, 2024, Soroi Lions Bluff Lodge staff represented CWC to celebrate World Environment Day at LUMO Community Wildlife Conservancy, in weed removal, organized by LUMO Conservancy and other partners. With the theme “Land restoration, desertification, and drought resilience”, we were involved in a discussion about invasive species and weeds and their effects on ecosystems, by experts from the Wildlife Research and Training Institute.
Together with the LUMO Youth Forum, we later proceeded to an area in the conservancy to physically cut down the weed – Ipomoea hildebrandtii, as a mechanical way of controlling weeds. This will ensure the re-growth of grass, ensuring a more stable ecosystem that provides pasture to wild animals
