In the "Ecological and Environmental Protection Management Measures", China Luxian stipulates that when developing land for construction projects, it must minimize the significant impact on the environment and natural resources. The construction project will first conduct a project feasibility study report or pre-feasibility study report, which needs to discuss the compliance with Zambia's laws and regulations on ecological and environmental protection, and demonstrate and analyze the factors that may cause changes in the surrounding environment and propose Prevention. At the same time, China Luxian will meet Zambia’s environmental planning requirements when constructing projects, and the construction site will not involve legally designated nature reserves, scenic spots, drinking water source reserves and other areas that require special protection. When building a new project on newly purchased land, an environmental background value survey will be conducted and filed with the Zambian environmental authorities. Construction projects will be strictly controlled and implemented in Zambia's environmental impact assessment system to ensure that project development can also reduce the impact on environmental resources.
