LWT News: Nyika, Vultures & TikTok!
Thursday, 8 September 2022
Lilongwe Wildlife Trust (LWT), responsible for running Malawi’s only wildlife rehabilitation centre and a key campaigner in Malawi’s fight against wildlife crime, have shared news on all the projects they’ve been involved over the past few months and we’ve chosen some of our favourite stories below.
Discover stunning Nyika National Park
Lilongwe Wildlife Trust are running a limited series of research expeditions in August, September and October and have just added new dates! During the eight-day trip, you’ll spend time observing vultures to support their research on these endangered birds. You’ll also learn telemetry and GPS techniques to track herds of zebra and roan antelope – all while exploring Nyika’s unique landscape. Join the team with last minute availability from 12-19 September and 17-24 October 2022. If you’re interested, click here to learn more.
Keep calm and carrion
Have you seen a tagged vulture on your travels in Malawi? The Lilongwe Wildlife Trust Conserving Malawi’s Vultures project relies significantly on community science – and the dry season is one of the best times of year to spot vultures in Malawi’s national parks and wildlife reserves. Since deploying the first wing tags in 2020, the team received more than fifty reports – vultures tagged in Malawi have been seen across eight different protected areas in four different countries!
