The Foundation for the Conservation of Biodiversity (BIOFUND) and AGROTUR, Lda have recently entered a five-year strategic partnership aimed at strengthening the protection of Chimanimani National Park (PNC). This alliance between the private sector and conservation organizations marks a significant step forward in safeguarding Mozambique’s biodiversity.

As part of this collaboration, AGROTUR a Mozambican company specializing in sustainable agricultural projects and the restoration of degraded areas has committed to allocating 5% of the revenues from coffee sales and related products to conservation activities in the PNC. AGROTUR focuses its coffee production in the park’s buffer zone, promoting farming practices that emphasize sustainability and biodiversity.

This partnership not only benefits the environment but also demonstrates the potential to align economic interests with environmental preservation. The collaboration between BIOFUND and AGROTUR serves as an example of how companies and foundations can work together to protect cultural and natural heritage while fostering sustainable economic development.

By consolidating this partnership, BIOFUND reaffirms its commitment to promoting responsible environmental management in Chimanimani National Park and ensuring sustainable financing for conservation activities.

The active involvement of the private sector in biodiversity conservation not only benefits the environment but also reinforces the idea that nature protection and economic development can coexist in harmony.
