Illegal activities that pose significant challenges in most of Africa include habitat loss through charcoal production, illicit harvesting of timber, poaching of wildlife, and overfishing of water resources. In the Lugenda Wildlife Reserve (LUWIRE) within the Niassa Special Reserve of northern Mozambique, these issues are being addressed head-on. For several years, there has been almost no meat poaching in the area, which has been fortunate for the predators, which are sometimes killed accidentally going into snare lines because they're attracted by the smell of animals that have died in the snare lines.
