Moza and ANAC together in the protection of the biodiversity

Moza Banco and the National Administration of Conservation Areas (ANAC) signed, last Thursday, in Maputo, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that involves the spread of messages that aim to combat poaching of animal species existing in Areas of Conservation, a phenomenon that has been taking place all over the Country.
In fact, the financial institution will, through its different communication’s platforms, spread information that calls for the protection and defence of biodiversity, showing its importance. There is also the possibility of using public transport buses to spread these messages.
At this occasion, the National Director of Conservation Areas, Mateus Muthemba, said that this partnership is the materialization of the assumption that the preservation of flora and fauna is a common cause.
"It is essential to count on this partnership, considering the relevance of the objectives that have already been laid out in the fight against poaching. Our desire is to see more initiatives of this nature, "said Mateus Muthemba.
For his part, the Executive Director of Moza Banco, Manuel Guimarães, expressed readiness to support all areas of ANAC's activities.
"We will seek to inform the communities, our customers and partners, of the results of the work of the reserves, with the aim of protecting the species, as this is part of our sustainability policy", he stressed.
According to Manuel Guimarães, the heritage of the animal world cannot be seen as only material, but rather as an emotional asset. "The heritage of the animal kingdom is an emotional heritage. It is from Mozambique and the whole world, and people need be aware about the protection of this wealth, which they risk losing," he said.
On the other hand, Moza signed the Protocol with the Administration of the Niassa National Reserve. This act ensures that the Niassa Reserve is the first to benefit from the Bank's actions, and the aim is to intervene gradually in other reserves of the country.
The MoU signing ceremony took place on the side-lines of the VII National Meeting of Conservation Areas, which was held under the slogan "The Future of Wildlife Depends on Me".
