Founded
BY DUNCAN YEARLEY IN 2007Main Objective
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.
So conservation is not only about wildlife: "it is about protecting wildlife and about contributing towards a long term and sustainable solution against hunger and poverty among people!”
Project
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
Research
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.
Eco Training / Eco Volunteer
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.
