ANGOLA
Much of Angola’s wildlife, including its elephants, was destroyed during the long civil war that finally ended in 2002. Miraculously, a few thousand elephants did survive, mostly in the remote south-east, in the region the Portuguese colonialists called ‘as terras do fim do mundo’, or 'the lands at the end of the earth'. Angola’s Government is now committed to restoring wildlife reserves, and joined the EPI in 2015.
