Gorongosa National Park, Mozambique: Inside the fight to save precious pangolins

Written and presented by Simon Parker @SimonWIParker Created during Journeysmiths’s non-profit Zambezi Expedition Film overview Simon Parker witnesses the rebirth of Mozambique’s Gorongosa National Park. Its wildlife was decimated during a 15-year civil war but thanks to targeted conservation initiatives the park is now seen as one of Africa’ greatest wildlife success stories.

Featuring Gorongosa National Park https://gorongosa.org/ Zambezi Expedition Simon Parker joined our non-profit Zambezi Expedition with our sister company, Africa Exclusive, in celebration of our 32nd birthday. He travelled from source to sea, gained behind the scene access to many impactful conservation projects and learned how endangered species can thrive along the banks of the Zambezi. Other expedition highlights included traversing private game reserves for close wildlife encounters, forging genuine connections with remote communities and finally, an unforgettable helicopter flight over the Zambezi to witness the river meet the Indian Ocean.
