Futi Corridor
wildlife corridor in Mozambique
Futi Corridor is a recently proclaimed protected area that forms a link between Maputo Special Reserve in Mozambique and Thembe Elephant Park in South Africa. It is a corridor of land along the Futi River. The corridor will effectively restore an historical migration and movement route of a valuable elephant population between Maputo Special Reserve and the Tembe Elephant Park in South Africa. The Futi Corridor covers 170,000 acres and the Muwai Community Association has mapped 24,710 acres of land on the western boundary to be incorporated into Maputo National Park.There is potential for the expansion of the community conservation area to the east and west of the Futi Corridor.
World Wide Fund for Nature has financed a 26 km electrified stay line to keep the elephants away from farmlands.

Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Futi Corridor” is wildlife corridor in Mozambique. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Futi, Corridor and wildlife, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “wildlife corridor in Mozambique” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 5, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5510511. Authority coordinates are -26.684, 32.676. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1932.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
