Herds of zebra, impala and giraffe from South Africa’s Kruger Park found a new home as part of the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park (GLTP) wildlife relocation project.
About 1,000 animals, from the large blue wildebeest to the stocky warthog, have been relocated to the park straddling South African, Mozambican and Zimbabwean territory.
The game from South Africa arrived in the Massingir area of Mozambique’s southern Maputo province after a one-and-a-half-hour trip by truck.
South African National Parks chief executive Mavuso Msimang and the Peace Parks Foundation officially handed over the animals to Mozambican representatives.
“This project is not only about the management of an ecosystem, but also about munity empowerment and tourism,” Msimang said.
Border fences are ing down with the establishment of the park, which will be the world’s biggest game reserve, to allow elephants and other herds to follow ancient migration routes.
The park, due to be officially opened next year, will be bigger than the Netherlands, covering some 38,600 square kilometers(15,440 square miles).
Under a three-year plan, about 6,000 animals are to be moved into the area, where wildlife was decimated（大批杀害）during Mozambique’s 25-year civil war.
African Wildlife Foundation munity development officer Jeremiah Machavi said 62 munities living in the area would be affected by the establishment of Transfrontier Park. Tourists will be able to travel across international boundaries in the park without having to show their passports.
The relocation process started in October last year when about 30 elephants were released into the park.

解析：8．B细节题。从第一小节可看出是把这些动物迁往一个wildlife relocation project，名叫the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park (GLTP)。
9．C细节计算题。从第二小节可知有1,000只动物，而倒数第三小节说Under a three-year plan, about 6,000 animals are to be moved into the area，因此还有大概5,000只动物。
10．C句意理解题。第二小节中the park straddling South African, Mozambican and Zimbabwean territory可见这个park跨越几个国家，但这些国家的边界不变，只是游客在园中游玩时，无需出示过境护照，Tourists will be able to travel across international boundaries in the park without having to show their passports。
11．C细节判断题。从Border fences are ing down with the establishment of the park…to allow elephants and other herds to follow ancient migration routes。
