The article discusses how communities in Zambia are struggling to secure their customary land rights, leading to loss of land and resources. A study conducted in 2015 found that without proper legislation and support from the government, communities face challenges in protecting their lands. The research revealed that community rights need to be able to adapt to changes in the environment, but without state support, outsiders can encroach on their lands, causing harm to local livelihoods.
