SOUTHERN AFRICAN PEACE PARKS

Lubombo : Ponta do Ouro-Kosi Bay

This marine and coastal TFCA will link the Ponta do Ouro-Inhaca coastline of Mozambique with South Africa's Greater St Lucia Wetland Park, a World Heritage Site. The area is well known for its biodiversity and combines sea coast with extensive wetlands. As with the Usuthu-Tembe-Futi TFCA, this area also contains sensitive breeding grounds of leatherback and loggerhead turtles, currently under threat of human encroachment and uncontrolled harvesting of their eggs. South Africa through the Greater St. Lucia Wetland Park Authority chairs this bilateral initiative.
