A complimentary conjunction of approaches in environmental planning in the Zambezi Valley

The transition to sustainable rural and regional economies that combines land protection with social Enterprise offers unique place‐based opportunities for the achievement of biodiversity protection [1,2] Debates about how best to make environmental friendly venture projects possible are occupying environmental planners and advice industries in many parts of the world (FAO, 2017). But in developing countries such as Zimbabwe it is worrying how muffled the debate is. The varying concerns about climate change and the rarefaction of natural resources open the era for effective environmental management [3]. In most rural communities people question development strategies obliging the local stakeholders to prove their fast reactivity. This reactivity requires constant consultation between all the economic, institutional and social partners of each community and the dedication of each individual community vision. It is thus necessary for the stakeholders of each community to engage in time of stocktaking and reflections in order to adjust and clarify the common vision [4]. In undertaking projects such as infrastructure projects, recreational facilities, wetland restoration projects and service facilities communities display new identities. The environmental and economic realities force the communities to question even more on the pertinence of a model of development of a new scheme. The various demands placed by individuals are sometimes in contradiction with each other. Anticipating crises, dialoguing more with each other has become indispensible practices for the local stakeholders. Locals are always claiming more strongly their right to information and consultation [5]. Through pedagogy and education communities can become partners of a project and succeed in raising raises local identity. Detailed environmental protocols have been outlined by [6] in the pursuit of planning models for community ownership. Galiano Conservancy established development of more detailed plans that identify metrics for evaluation, for example for ecological restoration.
