Several decades ago, Mozambique had several National Parks that, although poorly managed, provided a wildlife sanctuary. The civil war depleted large populations of wild mammals. There are plans underway to rehabilitate Gorongosa Park , which was once the Renamo's base, and make it accessible to tourists.
Rehabilitation means entire ecosystems have to be artificially created.
This takes time and money. Removing land mines from the Parks is another time consuming impediment. The civil war depleted most of Mozambique's wildlife. There are attempts to reintroduce some species in game reserves. All rights reserved.
