Kafue National Park, Zambia. The forest has the potential to drive more traditional and sustainable income opportunities, such as honey production, in order to improve the conditions of extreme poverty of the communities that live in the area surrounding the park. The honey industry in Zambia is growing exponentially, with the North-Western Province holding the potential to host an estimated 500,000 hives – enough to produce 25,000 tons of honey per annum. Currently, less than 1 percent of this capacity is met.
