Last update: 9 hours agoTree planting: Standard Lesotho Bank and the Ministry of Environment and Forestry planted 2,000 trees in Mafeteng as part of a plan to plant one million nationwide. Officials say the trees can support biodiversity, clean the air and reduce soil erosion, but communities will need to care for them. Water access: A rehabilitated water system has brought clean tap water to Masuoaneng in Qacha’s Nek, ending residents’ long walks to unsafe springs. In Mafeteng, work to improve supply is also advancing after severe drought and shortages in 2024. Water-project accountability: The High Court has urged the Lesotho Highlands Development Authority and Seinoli Trust to settle a dispute over data needed to assess the project’s effects on nearby communities and whether families were properly compensated. Wildlife: Fewer than 400 bearded vultures remain in the wild across Lesotho and South Africa. A regional breeding programme aims to help the threatened birds, which face poisoning, power-line deaths and habitat pressures.
