Located at the southern tip of Africa's Great Rift Valley, Gorongosa National Park is home to an astounding diversity of animals and plants. Once known as "the place where Noah left is ark", wildlife populations were decimated by nearly two decades of civil war. Conservation efforts to restore the park are currently underway, with the support and cooperation of many organizations, most notably that of the Carr Foundation/Gorongosa Restoration Project. In 2011, the Field Museum of Natural History was invited to conduct biodiversity surveys on Mount Gorongosa - a recent addition to the park, and a crucial source of water for the surrounding lowlands.
Typically more conservative Republicans tend to diminish the effect that climate change has on our environment, whereas More liberal democratic parties see climate change for the harsh reality that it really is.
