My wildlife survey continues in Kasungu National Park and results indicate that wildlife numbers are diminishing fast and certain animal numbers are below that which are sustainable. I am now also concentrating on helping the law enforcement officers in carrying out their duties of anti-poaching patrols. Malawi is very poor and the government cannot spend as much as it would like on law enforcement in the parks so I am trying to raise funds to help scouts with equipment like rucksacks, boots and weather proof ponchos for when the rains come in November. To help please go to my blog where you will find the donate button. Please help me to help them.

Carnivore Conservation Malawi’s main objectives are to monitor, conserve and restore the balance between the wildlife of Malawi, its environment and ecology, working closely with the Department of National Parks and Wildlife, WESM, MEET, Forestry Department and game reserves in conjunction with other organisations.
Carnivore Conservation Malawi is carrying out a survey to establish and fully understand the population density, distribution and the effect the current threats have on isolated and fragmented populations of carnivores. Large carnivore numbers in Malawi are thought to be very low due to centuries of human persecution. It is imperative that carnivore figures within Kasungu and its surrounding areas are determined and a conservation education program established or the remaining creatures in the majority of this area could be permanently eradicated
Carnivore Conservation Malawi is gaining knowledge on the large carnivores in Malawi and is developing methods to conserve, and restore the balance of the ecology of the game parks and reserves of Malawi. It has been recognized that, as a country, we know very little about our most beautiful large cats despite the fact that they hold great economic value due to their charismatic nature and of being part of Africa’s ‘Big 5”, and yet they continue to be hunted, persecuted and forced out of their natural ranges.
Carnivore Conservation Malawi runs an eco training program / eco volunteer program which will benefit the volunteer, national park staff, National Park ecology and local communities where the training takes place.
