Subject: Fwd: Support needed as floods cause devastation in Mozambique
To: PPF Communications <

Dear Sirs ,
Kindly let me know what is happening with the poaching in the Maputo NP .
I have received some disturbing photos of people beating a ranger , people blocking the main road outside the park , and small game killed for meat.
Also accusations of the involvement of the UIR police in the case ....
But in 2022 when we visited we saw and took pictures of a gate in the lagoa xinguli area with the chain cut off as well as the electric wires cut off ...
So the poaching in the area has been going for some time so it looks .
I have got friends here in SA that have been with me to the MNP and Santamaria area and are very keen once again to visit , go camping , go fishing and enjoy what MNP and St Maria have to offer but until we know that the situation is under control we rather "wait and see" not knowing what is really happening after the UIR shooting / Ranger attacked /toy toying on the main road incidents .
Your feedback is much appreciated.

Mozambique Floods Emergency Response |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
Severe flooding across southern Mozambique has devastated over 700,000 people. Communities around Limpopo, Banhine and Zinave national parks are severely affected by flood waters. Early assessments indicate that the scale and impact of this disaster surpass those of the catastrophic floods of 2000, widely regarded as the worst in southern Africa’s living memory.
The floods have caused widespread destruction of homes, crops, infrastructure and access routes, leaving thousands of families isolated and without food, clean water or basic services. |

Support is currently focused on addressing the following priority needs Immediate food assistance to prevent acute hunger in flood-affected communities. Provision of seeds to restore livelihoods and food security, as crops have been wiped out and the next harvest has been destroyed. This support is time-critical: without immediate seed distribution and planting, communities risk going a full year without a harvest. Urgent disease prevention and public health measures to curb the rising risks of cholera, malaria and malnutrition in flood-affected areas. Mitigation of longer-term ecological impacts, recognising that prolonged food insecurity increases pressure on natural resources.
|
|
|
Where your support makes a difference: 27,000 people (about 5,400 families) are affected across areas surrounding Limpopo, Banhine and Zinave national parks. To support one family with basic supplies for the next three months costs approximately $150. Since 17 January 2026, funding and in-kind support has been mobilised to enable Peace Parks to provide food and essential supplies to 1,978 families in 16 villages, with 13 tonnes of food distributed so far, and a further 64 tonnes of dry goods and food currently being distributed.
|
|
| To date, $838,000 in cash and in-kind support has been mobilised towards the wider emergency response, which is 30% of our total target of $2.8m required over the next three months. |
