To celebrate International Day of the Girl Child on 11th October, Gorongosa National Park invited all to watch “Our Gorongosa”, which tells the inspiring story of how Gorongosa National Park is becoming a new model for wildlife conservation and community development in Africa, with a special focus on educating girls and empowering women. I am sure many of you have already seen the documentary, but if not, please enjoy and share with friends and colleagues!
