Improve the management of the Quirimbas National Park

achevé

As a pilot operation in Mozambique, this program aims to reconcile the protection of biodiversity with economic development. The Quirimbas Park covers an area of 7,500 square kilometers, 20% of which comprises a large section of coastal mainland and islets and a dozen or so islands in the Quirimbas Archipelago. It is home to a great biodiversity: endemic plants, a remarkable terrestrial fauna (elephants, leopards, lions) and a rich marine ecosystem (leatherback turtles, corals, dugongs, dolphins, sharks and birds).AFD mainly finances the infrastructure and equipment of the park (construction of buildings, purchase of vehicles, etc.), as well as the establishment of tourism infrastructure.
