Nature in Mozambique concerns ecosystems, biodiversity and the use or protection of natural resources. Conservation areas can protect habitats while allowing regulated community use, fishing, tourism and other activities under local management plans. Access rules, licences, quotas and fees depend on the area, activity, season and responsible authority. Surroundings concern the quality of residential and working areas, including electricity, water supply, sanitation, drainage, waste collection, green space, air quality, noise conditions, safety and emergency access. These conditions differ between Maputo and Matola, secondary cities and rural districts. National, provincial and municipal bodies share responsibilities for planning, services and enforcement, so a project or home requires checks at the relevant local level.
Environment in Mozambique
Environment in Mozambique covers both nature and the conditions in which people live. Nature includes forests, wetlands, rivers, mangroves, coral reefs, species and natural processes, while surroundings include air, water, sanitation, waste, noise, safety and infrastructure. Conditions vary by area, so local checks often matter more than national averages.
