HideDescription
A screening of a new 55-min documentary film called “Our Gorongosa”, followed by a panel discussion on integrated conservation and human development and Mozambique’s public-private partnership approach. Panelists include Her Excellency Ivete Maibaze, Mozambique's Minister of Land and Environment, and Mateus Mutemba, Director General of ANAC (Mozambique's National Administration for Conservation Areas). The film features Dominique Gonçalves, a vibrant Mozambican ecologist (Manager of the Gorongosa Elephant-Ecology-Project) as she shares the many ways Gorongosa is redefining the identity and purpose of an African national park. From her own work mitigating human/elephant conflict, to school programs that empower girls to avoid teen marriage and pregnancy, to health clinics and nutrition training for mothers and families, Dominique transforms viewers’ understanding of what a national park can do with local communities. This is an inspiring and uplifting story of resilience and hope.
