AMERICAN millionaire, Gregory Carr is investing around $39m (R288m) to restore the Gorongosa National Park, in Mozambique. Once one of the largest conservation areas in the world, the park is gradually resuming its role in the development of tourism in Mozambique. Rehabilitation of the park will mean the reintroduction of wildlife that once lived in the park, but was decimated by poaching. The first 50 buffalo, acquired from the Kruger Park, has already been introduced. The Carr Foundation is also coordinating the building of tourist lodges and the opening of new camping sites.
