An important part of the conservation effort in Gorongosa National Park is to identify the species living in the park to ensure their protection and monitor their recovery. Every year, teams of scientists conduct biodiversity surveys in different areas of the park. Piotr Naskrecki leads a survey project in a particularly remote area, the limestone gorges of the Cheringoma Plateau, to study the bat population.
