Where is gorongosa national park

The 's saw a great deal of development of roads and tourist facilities in the park. A war of independence [ - ] threatened the stability of the Gorongosa National Park but strict protection of the area by the authorities resulted in limited damage and poaching but with the revolution in Portugal in the new government let go of power in all foreign territories and Mozambique gained independence. A rebel army, armed by South Africa, took up arms against the new government and based itself in the vicinity of Gorongosa.

Ivory poaching and hunting to feed the army decimated the wildlife populations and the park was closed to tourism. The rehabilitation of Gorongosa National Park in Central Mozambique represents one of the great conservation opportunities in the world today. Gorongosa is a region of high species diversity and ecological features found nowhere else. The key to continued species diversity on the planet is to protect critical areas like Gorongosa. The Wilson Foundation is committed to that effort.
