Mozambique has inaugurated a new national park in the Manica Province!

Mozambique has transformed the Chimanimani National Reserve, located in Manica Province in the west of the country, into a National Park as part of the Government's efforts to protect the ecosystem, biodiversity, flora and water resources of the Chimanimani mountain range. The new Chimanimani National Park (PNC) covers an area of 2,300km² and is the only habitat in the world for at least 73 species of plants and a number of rare mammals. According to a statement by Mozambique's Ministry of Land Environment and Rural Development, the new National Park is one of the few areas in the world where mountain elephants are found. Chimanimani National Park (PNC) forms part of the Trans-Frontier Chimanimani Conservation Area (Mozambique/Zimbabwe) and is considered as a historical landmark.
