The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), an international conservation organisation, has launched an initiative to protect Zambia's Kafue River from pollution: the 'Save the Kafue River Campaign'. At present, the river provides potable water to over 40 percent of people in the Southern African country.
Rising in the northern parts of Zambia, close to the border with the Democratic Republic of Congo, the 960 kilometre Kafue is the longest river wholly contained within the borders of the country.
