By James Muonwa
THE Environmental Management Agency (EMA) says Zimbabwe in 2020 recorded a decline in veld fires and the total burnt area by 30,38% due to various initiatives aimed at managing the scourge.
EMA director-general, Aaron Chigona said although the country failed to meet its 25% target to curb the prevalence of veld fires, the number of wildfires recorded and total hectarage destroyed had declined significantly.
“A total of 1 178 fire incidences were recorded between 31 July and 31 October 2020 resulting in 80 457,84 hectares being burnt.
“This was a reduction compared to 1 508 veld fires that destroyed 1 158 291, 57 hectares in 2019, translating to a 30,38% decrease of total burnt area,” said Chigona announcing the agency’s latest veld fire report.
