The pristine condition of the Mount Mabu forest is attributed to two things: its remote location and and the fact that Mozambique was embroiled in a civil war for the past 20 years, which finally ended in the mid-1990s. Even locals didn’t know much about the forest.
Among the expedition’s discoveries were three species of butterflies new to science, a new species of adder, six birds that are globally threatened, and this perhaps terrified pygmy chameleon.
“This is potentially the biggest area of medium-altitude forest I’m aware of in southern Africa, yet it was not on the map.”
