Angola Wildlife

Angola wildlife has been severely affected by the country’s long civil war, and poaching, land-mines and even hungry locals have seen a marked decrease in many game species.

Efforts are currently underway to replenish wildlife in Angola – in particular in the Quiçama National Park in the Kwanza River Valley. Slowly, conservation efforts are beginning to take shape.
