Protected areas in Mozambique are known as conservation areas, and are currently grouped into national parks, national reserves, forest reserves, wildlife utilisation areas (coutadas), community conservation areas, and private game farms (fazendas de bravio). There are also a number of areas that have been declared as protected areas under a variety of different legislation, which for reasons of simplicity are here grouped together as "other protected areas." Under the Conservation Law of 2014 (Law 16/2014 of June 20), protected areas will need to be reclassified into a much more flexible series of new categories which are closer to the international system used by the IUCN. International initiatives such as transfrontier parks are grouped at the end of the page.
Composition: Mozambique (Limpopo, Banhine and Zinave National Parks); Zimbabwe (Gonarezhou National Park, Manjinji Pan Sanctuary, Malipati Safari Area, Sengwe Community Area); South Africa (Kruger National Park, Makulele Region)
