'Perched on a remote mountain top and surrounded by lowlands, Mabu is what's
known as a "sky island" and is the largest rainforest in southern Africa. BBC
environment correspondent Jonah Fisher went to Mabu with a team of scientists
who have discovered dozens of new species there, helping to convince Mozambique
to protect it.
“Let me get my magic spoon,” Dr Gimo Daniel says with a smile.
It’s hard to imagine anyone taking more delight in their work than the
36-year-old Mozambican beetle expert.
We’re crouched around a small hole in the dirt not far from our camp in the
centre of Mabu forest. Dr Daniel’s mission, like that of almost everyone on our
expedition, is to find things that science has not seen before.
Dung beetles are Dr Daniel’s speciality and he chuckles as he pulls out a big
plastic tub of bait - his own faeces.'
