Mozambique establishes the Quirimbas National Park
Establishment of the 7500 km2 Quirimbas National Park in Mozambique's northern-most Cabo Delgado province, close to the border with Tanzania, represents a globally significant conservation achievement. This new park is a conservation jewel, boasting an exciting mosaic of wildlife, and helping protect one of the richest areas in coral reef in the world as well as many other important features, including mangroves, coastal forest and woodland, turtles, dugongs and elephants.
