Background knowledge
The flag of Zambia was officially adopted on Independence Day, October 24, 1964.
The colors are from the United National Independence Party. They have the following meaning:
* Green represents the fields and forests that occupy the largest area of the national territory
* Orange symbolizes the mineral resources, especially copper
* Black is the skin color of the population
* Red recalls the struggle to achieve freedom
The African Fish Eagle lives on the Zambezi River, from whose name the name Zambia is derived. It represents the nation's aspiration to higher goals and its ability to overcome problems.
The flag was designed by Mrs Gabriel Ellison, OGDS, MBE.
