2011-11-05 The world's biggest wildlife Reserve - A new Reserve.
The world's
biggest wildlife Reserve straddles five
countries – Angola, Botswana, Namibia,
Zambia and Zimbabwe. Kaza is the world's biggest wildlife park. It is 15 times the size
of the Serengeti yet few people working outside environmental circles will have
heard of the Kavango - Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area, or Kaza for short.
Kaza was made a legal fact last month as Angola, Namibia,
Botswana, Zambia and Zimbabwe signed up to the most
ambitious scheme of its kind. The treaty signed in Luanda
in August has created a reserve of 450,000 square kilometres, roughly the same
area as Sweden.
The reserve has
at least 3,000 plant species and is home to a vast array animals such as buffalo,
zebra, sable, roan, bushbuck, impala, reedbuck, tsessebe, puku, red lechwe and
sitatunga elephants, giraffe rhino, hippo,
crocodile, wild dogs, lions, leopards, cheetah and hyaena,
The new reserve
is also home to over 600 bird species , across savannas, wetlands and woodlands,
including Saddle-billed Stork and Carmine Bee-eaters.
