(250624) -- HARARE, June 24, 2025 (Xinhua) -- Jimmy Muropa, an officer with the Conservation Society of Monavale, looks through binoculars at the Monavale Vlei wetland in Harare, Zimbabwe, on June 15, 2025. Located in the northwestern region of Harare, Zimbabwe's capital, the 500-hectare Monavale Vlei remains a well-protected wetland that offers a serene retreat for nature enthusiasts, thanks to the dedicated efforts of a local conservation group. As wetlands in Harare face challenges from urban development, the Monavale wetland remains well-preserved, said Jimmy Muropa, an officer with the Conservation Society of Monavale (COSMO), a community organization established to protect and restore the Monavale wetland. The wetland's protected and thriving ecosystem makes it a haven for many bird species, including migratory birds, said Muropa. "For us, birds are a very good indicator of the healthy nature of any ecosystem. To protect these species, we have to protect this kind of habitat."
