in 1995 the entire zambezi delta system in eastern mozambique had a total of less than 1500 buffalo as recorded with an aerial survey , hunting companies undertook the task of restoring the area being that game was too sparse and the area too remote to interest any other safari activity - in those days the quotas were very very low and as such the hunting companies had to invest heavily with no return into their anti poaching and management

- today at the last count just a few weeks ago in excess of 20 000 buffalo were counted - the quotas are very generous and in the last few years the outfitters have started to see some return on their investment - government recieves trophy fees and concession fees and the game is thriving and the local people starting to see value - this picture to a non hunter or someone unwilling to try and understand represents carnage

- in reality it represents the very core of what has turned this whole ecosystem around to the point where one can hardly drive 200 yards through the concession without seeing wildlife !!- all (every cent) thanks to hunters dollars-
