Parc de la zone humide d’iSimangaliso – Parc national de Maputo
Afrique du Sud
Located in South Africa, this wetland park represents a significant natural ecosystem characterized by extensive marshes, coastal dunes, and interconnected lake systems. The site encompasses diverse habitats that support a wide range of plant and animal species adapted to wetland environments, making it an important area for biodiversity conservation. The landscape is shaped by the interaction between freshwater and marine systems, creating dynamic ecological conditions that sustain numerous species of birds, fish, and aquatic mammals. The wetland's ecological value derives from its role in nutrient cycling, water filtration, and as a breeding ground for migratory species. The park's designation reflects the importance of preserving intact wetland systems and the ecological processes they maintain. The site demonstrates the interconnection between terrestrial and aquatic environments in a subtropical coastal setting.
