Mozambique's secret rainforest in the sky - BBC Africa

09/09/2026 · BBC News Africa

Descrição

Mabu, the largest rainforest in southern Africa, remained off-limits for years due to the civil war that plagued Mozambique. Scientists have found there dozens of species which don't exist anywhere else in the world. The BBC's environment correspondent followed them on a journey to the area. The specialists now hope that their many findings will lead to a rare happy ending story when it comes to preservation.

People of Mozambique. Please protect this forest. I live in a country where they are constantly destroying the natural habitats to build all inclusive resorts. It's really painful to watch. Most of the nationals can't even afford to stay in one.

A lot of the comments bothered me. Teamwork is one of the most important tools we can use in situations like this. Of course locals knew about this place first, they are now starting offical research to officially catalog & document things. This is a place that they've said has been unaccessible due to war for a very long time. So now scientists across the world are coming together to work together on this project. No one is trying to do anything other than show their respect for this very unique place in the world. The most important thing is to make sure to protect this region from development. It should be treated as a world heritage sight is. Where it proves that it's a rare ecosystem, habitat, place that deserves to be respected and not let toxic development occur throughout it.. I wish more people could see things from a different point of view.. All of these researchers respected & cherish this place
