Lilongwe Wildlife Sanctuary Malawi

Lilongwe Wildlife Sanctuary Malawi – Wildlife trust in Malawi

Lilongwe wildlife sanctuary Malawi – Located in the heart of Malawi’s capital, Lilongwe Wildlife Sanctuary is the place where ‘wildlife and people meet’. The wildlife centre, located in the sanctuary, is an award-winning rescue, conservation and education hub. It was the Born Free Foundation that helped to set up the centre in 2007 and this renowned animal conservation body is still actively involved in projects. In partnership with the Department of National Parks & Wildlife and some of the world’s leading international wildlife charities, the centre aims to raise the profile of wildlife welfare and conservation, working with local communities to preserve habitats in protected areas. Education involves working with hundreds of schools across the country and providing information about environmental conservation. The community outreach programmes promote community empowerment and sustainable livelihoods so that issues such as human wildlife conflict are addressed.

Reason for the establishment of Liiongwe wildlife sanctuary

Malawi is one of the world’s poorest countries where most people rely on natural resources to survive. Environmental threats are more pressing than ever before. Forests and woodlands are disappearing. Animal habitats are shrinking. A changing climate is putting food security and human health at risk. But our approach shows that change is possible. By tackling some of the most urgent challenges from different angles and by joining forces with individuals and organisations across society we can make a difference – for both people and wildlife. Whether it’s partnering with other NGOs to rescue wild animals from traps and snares, supporting government departments to create stronger environmental policies or working with communities to teach children the value and power of nature, we know that together, we are stronger.
