Lilongwe Wildlife Trust was established in 2008 when we opened the doors to Malawi’s first and only accredited wildlife sanctuary, Lilongwe Wildlife Centre. Since then we have grown to become one of the country’s leading conservation NGOs. Our vision is a future in which Malawi’s wildlife and wild places can thrive. Working in collaboration with local and international partners, we respond to urge
nt conservation challenges as well as drive long-term social and institutional change. The Government of Malawi has appointed us to administer a number of national wildlife management, justice and advocacy initiatives. We are also a member of the International Union for Conservation of Nature, the Malawi representative for the Species Survival Network and the Secretariat for the Malawi Parliamentary Conservation Caucus. By uniting with other organisations and individuals who share our vision, we create a force for nature across the country. Together, we are building lasting change for our natural world. WE ARE A FORCE FOR WILDLIFE, rescuing and rehabilitating wild animals and releasing as many as possible back into the wild, where they belong. WE ARE A FORCE FOR JUSTICE, campaigning for an end to the illegal wildlife trade and other environmental crimes. WE ARE A FORCE FOR KNOWLEDGE, inspiring our next generation to value the world around us and mobilising communities to defend nature. WE ARE A FORCE FOR PROGRESS, campaigning across society and partnering with policy makers to make conservation a national priority.
