Essay / Research Paper Abstract
This is a 6 page paper discussing the environmental challenges and the government response in Mozambique. The civil war which erupted in Mozambique in 1975 was considered one of the main factors which led to the devastation of the environment within the country. Not only did the civil war have a direct impact on the wildlife in regards to food and revenue for the rebels but the war also led to a massive migration of farmers and communities from the agricultural hinterland to the coastal urban regions. This migration led to urban sprawl and consequently pollution and depletion of the fishing resources, coastal erosion and deforestation. In the land that was left behind, the agricultural crops were abandoned which led to increased desertification. In addition to the impact of the civil war, southern Mozambique had undergone a series of droughts and floods in the 1980s and early 1990s which further devastated the land. Fortunately, within the last seven years, the government of Mozambique with the assistance of international aid has established several initiatives which take into account the wildlife in the hinterland as well as the coastal regions, the reclamation of agricultural land through the clearing and cleaning of the irrigation systems, and spatial planning in the urban areas in which coastal erosion and deforestation is addressed in urban development among many other programs.

The Republic of Mozambique in Southern Africa is one of Africas poorest countries despite opportunities which are available in the agricultural, hydropower and transportation industries.
The environmental challenges in Mozambique have a great deal to do with the decades of civil strife which has occurred within the country and due to the civil conflicts in
the midlands, a great many of the people have migrated to the urban and coastal regions which has led to desertification of the areas they left behind and pollution of
the coastal and urban areas in addition to the environmental harm of urban sprawl which includes aspects of deforestation not only for the construction of new housing but for the
