First, a look at Fogo Island's comeback story. Then, uncovering Caligula's gardens. And, a report on rehabilitating Gorongosa National Park.
Gorongosa was devastated by years of war, but now the park, and the people around it, are getting new opportunities thanks to philanthropist Greg Carr's nonprofit foundation.
After decades of war, the transformation in this African park has also impacted the people living nearby. Now the goal is to make it self-sustaining.
French President Emmanuel Macron discusses the impact the war in Ukraine and U.S. domestic policy are having on his country; Rebuilding and repopulating Mozambique's Gorongosa National Park; Jon Wertheim speaks with world #1 pool player Shane Van Boening.
To protect the wildlife of Gorongosa National Park — including lions, elephants and pangolins — Greg Carr has committed more than $100 million of his personal fortune. "What are you going to do, stick it all in your casket?" he says.
70% of Africa's lions have been lost in the last 50 years, but Gorongosa's lion population is now thriving. 60 Minutes rode with park veterinarian Antonio Paulo as he chased down and tranquilized a lioness to perform an examination — and found a surprise.
"When we started this program, they didn't know they had this choice." Larissa Sousa leads the Girls Club, which aids girls attending schools around Gorongosa National Park. 60 Minutes met aspiring teachers, park rangers, and nurses.
