Park Warden for Maputo National Park nominated for Tusk Conservation Awards 2022

Miguel Goncalves, Park Warden for Maputo National Park – that is co-managed by the National Administration for Conservation Areas and Peace Parks Foundation – has been nominated for the prestigious Tusk Conservation Awards 2022.

Miguel has worked within the Maputo National Park since 1999, becoming Park Warden in 2008. Under Miguel’s inspirational leadership across the last 12 years, the park has changed dramatically from a free-for-all hunting ground to a landscape able to support thriving populations of wildlife and recovering ecosystems, both in the ocean and on land.

His drive and passion, combined with a deep knowledge of his local area, has enabled him to become a leader and advocate for community conservation and education across borders and cultures.
