The elephant population, for instance, was virtually decimated for its meat and ivory, then traded for weapons.<\/p>\n<p>30 years later, biodiversity is increasing and according to the latest animal count, done in October this year, the local fauna has reached a new high, over 102,000 animals.<\/p>\n<p>The team surveyed a core 60% of the Park over a period of 12 days.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There is a very fertile, a very productive system&#8221;, Mark Stalmans who works at the Gorongosa National Park Science Department.<\/p>\n<p>So if you got a vibrant population that&#8217;s left, if you get them protection, with a good drainfull, with a frequent flooding, very fertile soil that provides for good grazing you can actually have a very rapid growth in those numbers&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The uncertainty over climate, however, is making National Park officials apprehensive. The &#8220;imbalance&#8221; in nature, they say, is already &#8220;noticeable&#8221; in such vital phenomena as rainfall.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Sometimes it falls very early, sometimes it falls very late and sometimes it falls much less, or not at all&#8221;, Pedro Muagura, an Administrator at the Gorongosa National Park said.<\/p>\n<p>So, all this is going to impact on animal reproduction, it&#8217;s going to impact on the vegetation and the migration of the animals is no longer what it should be. This not only harms the fauna, but also &#8220;decomposes&#8221; various activities&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The conclusions still need further studies.
