This week, PeaceParks.TV joins the Zinave National Park team on a mission to fit a GPS tracking collar on an elephant. This operation is not just about tagging one elephant; it’s about securing the future of the entire population of an estimated 233 elephants in the park and promoting peaceful coexistence between people and wildlife.
Elephants in Maputo National Park have been breaking down fences on occasion to exit the park, threatening lives and livelihoods. In response, park teams are constructing ingenious tentacle fences to protect the people living near the park, and the elephants which need to stay safely inside.
In Limpopo National Park, the team is replacing a young male lion’s collar, which he’s set to outgrow. Using EarthRanger software to monitor him, and other lions moving into the park, the teams can better understand his movements and estimate the size and health of the growing population, as well as keeping local communities safe.
Peace Parks Foundation’s rewilding efforts owe their immense success to remarkable people and partnerships. Each journey of restoration and hope is driving the transformation of landscapes, the livelihoods of communities and the lives of the individuals committed to their rewilding work.
Zinave National Park’s ecosystem is on a remarkable restoration journey thanks to the dedicated efforts of the Government of Mozambique, Peace Parks Foundation, our partners and donors. Where once there was a silent park devoid of life, there is now a vibrant one, visibly brimming with wildlife.
