TUI Care Foundation has partnered with Peace Parks Foundation to restore a mangrove forest in Maputo National Park and construct a walkway that will allow guests to experience this threatened and critically important coastal habitat.
Around 150 hectares of degraded mangrove forest will be restored through the planting of 525 000 seedlings. A 200 metre-long walkway running through mangrove forest will be established at Santa Maria, on the tip of the Machangulo Peninsula, home to various accommodation facilities.
Maputo National Park Warden Miguel Goncalves explained that mangrove forests play a critical role in conservation and community efforts.
