Lack of proper planning in the use of natural resources worsened animal-human conflict in Mozambique, Agriculture minister, Soares Nhaca, told the national broadcaster on Monday.
Nhaca who was speaking at the official launch of a national animal census was quoted by Radio Mozambique as saying the census would enable authorities to demarcate enough land for animals, thereby reducing incidents where people are killed by animals.
The national animal census will be funded by the government to the tune of $800 000 (about R6-million) over a period of one year.
At the end of January, local media reported the death of three people and the serious injury of two others when they were attacked by crocodiles near the Chemba administrative post in central Mozambique.
