Revitalizing Gorongosa National Park

Gorongosa National Park is one of Africa’s greatest wildlife restoration stories. Once decimated by civil conflict, scientists and conservationists embarked on a massive effort to balance the needs of wildlife and people by ensuring the protection of its animals and landscapes, offering educational programs and agricultural support, and implementing sustainable tourism. As a tourism guide, Gabriela Curtiz has intimate knowledge of the park, and is striving to help communities-and ultimately her country-by inspiring peoples’ connection to nature and preparing for future leadership roles within the park.
