Livingstone & Mosi-oa-Tunya
The Zambia-side river corridor near Livingstone, inside the transboundary Victoria Falls landscape. A real place with documented pressures and no Eden presence.
Real location and documented needs. No Eden site or partnership confirmed.
What the published record says.
UNESCO identifies infrastructure and tourism pressure and invasive species at the Mosi-oa-Tunya / Victoria Falls property. The 2025–2030 joint integrated management plan names Lantana and water hyacinth, sewage, runoff and boat pollution, and litter across the property.
This is a transboundary property-scale assessment, not a measured finding at any particular parcel of land.

River corridor care with locally owned tourism enterprise
What we would propose here, if local partners wanted it. Nothing below has been agreed.
Proposed environmental focus
Support professionally led invasive-plant management, riverbank litter monitoring and water-quality records along the corridor.
Proposed community focus
Locally owned tourism, waste and food enterprises supply the work and the week, with terms they set.
What could be useful here.
For the place
- Invasive-plant removal alongside qualified teams
- Riverbank litter monitoring on approved safe ground
- Water-quality sampling where locally coordinated
- Native plant nursery support
With the community
- Contracting Livingstone-owned guiding, transport and waste services
- Purchasing food and craft at producer prices
- Training pathways discussed with existing operators
- Written, locally governed benefit-sharing before anything starts
- Local enterprise & procurement
- Dignified paid employment
- Education & youth training
- Locally governed benefit-sharing
Indicators, not claims.
Proposed indicators — baseline pending, nothing measured yet. Any baseline would be set by an independent survey agreed locally before work began.

How it would feel
The first frame is a photograph of the real landscape. The rest is concept imagery; not documentation of this location or of a built Eden Habitat.
Research candidate means the place is real and the need is documented — not that you can book, and not that anyone has agreed to host us.
