My role is to coordinate the scientific research happening in the Park, both by our team and by other scientists and students. The results of these studies are used to guide the management of the Park both in the short and the long-term. We are a small division but we interact with many other scientists and students, from Mozambique and further afield. I also advise on tourism planning by using information we gather on the ecology and biodiversity of the Park to enhance tourism while minimizing negative impacts on the environment. Another priority is to document the tremendous biodiversity of the Park, an effort that is led through the EO Wilson Biodiversity Laboratory in Chitengo. Our Science Education programme aimed at developing the next generation of Mozambican biodiversity experts and ecologists is one of our priority focus areas.
