African Leaders launch
biggest Wildlife Park
A Plus for Conservation
|
The Presidents of South Africa, Mozambique and
Zimbabwe signed a treaty on Monday, 9 December 2002, to create the world's
largest wildlife reserve.
The Greater Lipopo Transfrontier Park, to eventually include 14,000
square miles, will be years in the making. Roads and lodges must be built,
land mines removed, poaching controlled, politics and financing negotiated,
and more than 20,000 villagers living in the Mozambican section must be
accommodated or relocated.
