After the procedure, the elephant recovered from the anaesthetic and returned to the wild.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cases like this form part of the MWA's routine veterinary work, which responds to threats affecting individual animals and provides specialised support to wildlife in the region. The intervention was carried out in collaboration with the National Administration of Conservation Areas (ANAC), the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and the Niassa Carnivore Project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Niassa Special Reserve, where the rescue took place, is Mozambique's largest conservation area, covering more than 42 000 square kilometres across eight districts in the provinces of Niassa and Cabo Delgado, and is home to one of the country's largest elephant populations, according to ANAC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Photos: MWA<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Set 7, 2026 | Uma equipa veterin\u00e1ria da Mozambique Wildlife Alliance removeu uma armadilha de nylon da perna de um elefante na Reserva Especial do Niassa.
