2011-11-09 Futi Corridor joins Tembe Elephant Park and Maputo Special Reserve.
In one of the
Lubombo Transfrontier Conservation and Resource Area’s most important
developments, the government of Mozambique
on 14 June 2011 approved the declaration of the Futi Corridor as a protected
area. This joins Tembe
Elephant Park
and Maputo Special Reserve.
Globally it is
one of the most striking areas of biodiversity. One of the main reasons for
establishing the Lubombo TFCA has always been to reunite the last naturally
occurring coastal elephant population in Southern Africa, which historically
moved freely along the Futi
River and Rio Maputo
floodplains.
The Dutch
Postcode Lottery is co-funding this project with €2 million.
