Lilongwe Wildlife Trust in Malawi


Lilongwe Wildlife Trust. Opened in 2008, the trust is the vanguard of Malawian wildlife conservation efforts in the country. And its portfolio is wide. It saves wild cats, monkeys and antelope from being sold at the roadside as desperation pushes more people towards the pet or bush meat trade. In partnership with the Department of National Parks and Wildlife, it rescue lions, hyenas and even pythons injured and left to die in far-flung parts of the country. And it lobbies the government to tackle the ivory trade eating away at southern Africa's elephant and rhino populations.
