National Administration for Conservation Areas (ANAC) - Maputo - Mozambique

The National Administration for Conservation Areas (ANAC) of Mozambique, established in 2011, is a vital state institution dedicated to preserving biodiversity and promoting sustainable ecotourism across the nation. ANAC manages roughly 25% of Mozambique’s land, including 7 national parks, 7 national reserves, and a sprawling collection of 70 hunting zones, divided among official game reserves, hunting blocks, community initiatives, and wildlife farms.

ANAC’s mission spans planning, coordinating, and executing conservation activities in close partnership with local communities and organizations. Its vision is to serve as Mozambique’s benchmark authority for biodiversity management and sustainable development within conservation areas.

The website offers an engaging, accessible platform that provides comprehensive information on protected areas, wildlife, ecotourism opportunities, and guiding documents that underpin ANAC’s work. Key flagship projects include MOZBIO (Biodiversity and Development) and PROFIN (Sustainable Financing for Protected Areas) — both aimed at strengthening conservation efforts and fostering community participation.

Through these initiatives, ANAC demonstrates a powerful commitment to safeguarding Mozambique’s ecological heritage while empowering communities and fostering sustainable development across its extraordinary natural landscapes.
