Gorongosa National Park is one of the most biodiverse places in Africa, but its large animal populations were decimated during Mozambique's civil war. Over the past 20 years, conservation scientists have been monitoring the recovery of these amazing animals. Paola Bouley explains how satellite collars and trail cameras allow her to keep tabs on Gorongosa's lion population.
