Lilongwe Wildlife Trust
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 urgent 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. CONGOMA no. C466 | Charity Commission no.

Wildlife And Environmental Society Of Malawi Wesm
The Wildlife and Environmental Society of Malawi (WESM) was founded in 1947 as the Nyasaland Fauna Preservation Society in Blantyre. In the early days, the aim was to protect wildlife, especially the larger mammals. In the 1950’s and 60’s, WESM was active in proposing and helping to establish Malawi’s reserves and parks such as Lengwe, Majete, Mwabvi and Nyika. WESM is a non-profit, Non-Governmental Organization legally registered in Malawi and affiliated to the Council for Non-Governmental Organizations in Malawi. WESM is also a member of international conservation organizations such as IUCN, Birdlife International, EEASA etc. The Society has nine branches in Balaka, Blantyre, Dwangwa, Lilongwe, Monkey Bay, Mzuzu, Mulanje, Nkhata Bay and Zomba. The core work of each branch includes organizing and supporting school-based “Wildlife Clubs”, with the goal of enhancing environmental knowledge and involvement, and currently there are some 1500 Wildlife Clubs across Malawi. Each branch is a local membership organisation with the membership including individuals, companies, institutions and wildlife clubs, wholly run and managed at the level of the branch, often by branch members on a voluntary basis. Branches organize regular talks and social events, publish informative newsletters and wildlife books, park guides and extension materials, organize special interest events, schedule wildlife walks during weekends and implements local conservation activities.
