Minister of green economy and environment Collins Nzovu has noted that the destruction of the forest at the moment is threatening water provision because the head waters are no longer being protected.
Mr. Nzovu reveals that there is water pollution in water bodes that are near forests because of settlements and other illegal things which are not supposed to be done in forest areas.
He says sanity will only come back in forest areas once government works together with traditional leaders especially, because they are the ones that turned forest land into settlement areas and have given people places to build houses.
The minister states that most of the land in these forests is fertile hence everyone run to the forests hence they have become settlement areas despite traditional leaders having enough land outside the forests that they can give to their people.
Mr. Nzovu adds that traditional leaders need to be encouraged to give land to their people so that they can apply their trade in the areas, but instead most of these traditional leaders want to give land to foreign investors which he said is not helping.
