In the Zambezi River basin of central Mozambique - .and almost forgotten epicenter of biodiversity - lies the Macossa-Tambara Ecosystem- a vast Miombo forest home to lions, leopards, elephants, pangolins, and 40,000 people who have lived alongside wildlife here for aeons.

​

We are Associação NATURA Moçambique and a family of organizations, communities, investors, and governmental partners who have committed to the long term restoration and protection of this precious ecosystem and communities.

​​​

By restoring and protecting this wild landscape, supporting and nurturing the wellbeing of next-generations, developing nature-based economies that center women and build climate resilience, and training and empowering future environmental leaders, we aim to set a living example of what is possible when Mozambicans have the space to lead in safeguarding their nation's biodiversity.
