The Faculty of Earth and Environmental Sciences (FCTA) at Pedagogical University of Maputo (UP-Maputo) recently celebrated its tenth anniversary with the launch of the book "Mozambique: A Physical Geography."
Written by Aniceto dos Muchangos and Inocêncio Pereira, the book addresses the physical and geographical characteristics of Mozambique, including natural disaster risks such as "El Niño" and frequent floods.
The launch event, held in the faculty auditorium, was attended by academics, students, government authorities, and environmental professionals.
Inocêncio Pereira, one of the authors, emphasized the importance of the book as an essential tool for students, researchers, and policymakers. José Neves, a lecturer at UP-Maputo, highlighted the value of the book for understanding the country's natural potential, covering phytogeographical regions and biodiversity with 5,500 registered plant species.
The event also included tributes to the faculty's lecturers, recognizing their exceptional contributions. Recognition diplomas were awarded in a ceremony attended by the honorees' families, friends, colleagues, and students.
