Saturday is the first-ever International Day of the Deep Seabed.

This vast part of the ocean floor beyond national borders —known as 'the Area'— covers over half the global ocean and holds rich mineral resources, which could play a key role in humanity's progress.

The International Day is an important moment to recognize and celebrate that the deep seabed belongs to all humankind —and must be protected.

ZAMBIA BRACES FOR NEAR-NORMAL RAINS WITH POCKETS OF ABOVE-AVERAGE FALLS

By Canaan Siame

The Zambia Meteorological Department has forecast a near-normal 2025/2026 rain season, with increased chances of above-normal rainfall during the peak months of December, January, and February.

The Department says the season will be influenced by a neutral El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) expected to shift toward a weak La Niña, and a negative Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD), which may delay the onset of rains in northeastern parts of the country.

The rainy season is expected to begin in October across Northwestern and Luapula Provinces, as well as eastern Copperbelt, Northern, and northern Western Province, while most other regions will likely see the onset in November.

Meanwhile, the forecast indicates that normal to above-normal rainfall is expected in Western, Southern, Lusaka, Luapula, and Northern Provinces, while Copperbelt, Muchinga, and parts of Central and Eastern Provinces are likely to receive normal to below-normal rainfall, with intermittent dry spells anticipated across the country.

Zambia is home to one of the largest Miombo woodlands in the world. These diverse forests, which cover much of the country, are essential to our environment, local communities, and the economy. The Miombo woodlands support incredible biodiversity and play a vital role in carbon storage (which helps in the fight against climate change).

This International Day of Forests, let's remember to:

- Support sustainable land use
- Champion tree planting initiatives
- Participate in local conservation efforts
- Raise awareness about the importance of forest preservation
