Protea Hotels are planning to build a huge and inappropriate modern hotel in a pristine wilderness area on the banks of the Zambezi in Zambia. This beautiful and important wilderness area is adjacent to Lower Zambezi National park and opposite the world famous Mana Pools National Park World Heritage Site. This proposal will destroy the area for wildlife, introducing thousands of tourists into a hugely important and fragile wild environment, and bringing noise and light pollution into a quiet wildlife area.

I was just looking at the count and we are almost at one hundred signatures which would be such a huge help when I finally get to show this to the planning board. Could you send the link to a few people right now because momentum feels like it is actually building finally and we really cannot let them get away with building that monstrosity by the river.

cannot imagine the noise and blaze of lights across the river that would also destroy the peace and serenity of Mana

I agree - a horrifying prospect that shows that nothing is sacred where profit is the motive.

I am horrified to hear about this proposed huge hotel. This wilderness area is NOT the place for this kind of huge development. It will ruin Mana Pools.

Completely disgraceful. The Zambezi is one of the last truly wild places left and we need to keep it that way. No hotel belongs there.

This will be a disaster for the environment. once you build something like this you can never take it back. just wrong.

Too much pressure on nature, not in line with the other lodges/hotels size
