USAID Mozambique: Rebuilding Gorongosa National Park
United States Ambassador to Mozambique Douglas Griffiths discusses the collaborative effort behind the Gorongosa Restoration Project, and the important science, conservation and community-development goals being accomplished.
The United States' support to the Gorongosa Restoration Project includes the construction and maintenance of a Community Education Center where children and adults can come to learn about biodiversity conservation; the design and construction of a wildlife sanctuary and a scientific research center; park operation and maintenance; and research on the rich biodiversity of the park. The project includes many other activities, such as the reforestation of Mount Gorongosa, an Eco-Health program and community livelihood projects.
