Field Expeditions: Mozambique
Rich  with tribal cultures, a diverse terrain, and wild animal life, Mozambique is described as Africa's hidden jewel. Join a team of conservationists from the World Wildlife Fund as they help establish new national parks in the country, while battling illegal fishing and watching for rampaging wildlife. Learn about the animals of the region, including elephants, wild dogs, whales, dolphins, and dugongs -- sea cows that are related to manatees. Watch video of coconut crabs and whale sharks, then read the expedition's daily dispatches about everything from community development to beekeeping to "no-go" zones. Ask the scientists about relations between environmentalists and locals and how the new parks came into existence. Finally, get the big picture with maps of the region. It's a fascinating safari and important environmental lesson, all in one package. (in Animals, Insects, and Pets) |
