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.
In Limpopo National Park, an incoming lion is threatening local livestock and livelihoods; responding to the risks posed by predation on cattle, teams react swiftly to capture, collar and relocate the young male to reduce the risk of conflict in areas where people and wildlife coexist.
Go behind the scenes, and into Zinave as the park receives their final precious cargo of 10 white and black rhino and watch them settle happily into their flourishing new home, as teams tell happy translocation tales.
