The Angola Field Group invites you to a presentation on Thursday July 31 on ‘The Okavango River’. Botswana depends on it, Namibia needs it, but 95% of the still pristine waters come from Angola. What is being done to secure the future of the least human impacted basin on the African continent? You are all invited to attend this presentation by Chaminda Rajapakse, who works with the Okavango River Basin Water Commission (OKACOM), one of the oldest and most active trans-boundary river basin commissions in Southern Africa.
