We are pleased to announce that the Young Professional International Network (YPIN) will be hosting a film screening of Africa’s Lost Eden, the National Geographic film about the restoration of Gorongosa National Park in Mozambique.
Thursday, March 31, 2011
The Gorongosa Restoration Project is a bold development project led by our keynote speaker, philanthropist Greg Carr and his foundation. The Carr Foundation has committed $40 million dollars over 30 years to protect and restore the park’s ecosystem, and to help develop an eco-tourism industry in the communities surrounding the park. By reintroducing animal species (elephants, hippos and other bulk grazers) to the land, creating jobs within the park, funding schools and health clinics and training local farmers, the Carr Foundation (in its partnership with the government of Mozambique) has embarked on an ambitious restoration effort.
