Scaling Elephant Monitoring in Magoé National Park (MNP)

The Reshaping of a National Park - Magoé
A year ago, Magoe National Park was facing a growing crisis.

Supported by MozRural and BIOFUND, MWA and Magoe National Park launched an amb

A Month of Progress for People and Wildlife
May was a busy month for Human-Wildlife Conflict mitigation in Mozambique. In a single month, four new Protected Farming Communities were established across two landscapes: Duco and Chivonguene in Magude, and Bairro Guebuza 1, Bairro Guebuza 2 and Nhabando in the Magoé landscape, Tete Province. For families living alongside elephants, hippos, and buffalo, this means more than fencing. It means sleeping at night without fear of losing an entire harvest before sunrise. It means

Two Rangers from Magoé National Park Train with MWA
Since last week, two rangers from Magoé National Park are spending a few days with us. They're not new to the work - they're experienced rangers who've known that park for years, including during the period when it was largely overlooked. Now, with Magoé entering a new chapter, they're here to widen the toolkit they already carry. The training is happening thanks to our partnership with MozRural and BIOFUND, and runs in phases. The first phase brought them to MWA headquarters

Lion Conflict Response
Following heavy flooding in the Massintonto River, sections of the Sabie Game Park fence were compromised, allowing a small pride of lions to move out into the Mucacasa community. The situation escalated quickly. A total of 7 head of cattle were killed, and two lions were lost to snares. Mozambique Wildlife Alliance (MWA) was deployed to respond, with the objective of capturing and relocating the remaining lions back into Sabie Game Park following fence repairs. The pride con
