Description
The Wildlife and Environmental Society of Malawi is dedicated to conservation of natures resources,
including land, forestry, animals, bird-life, flora and fauna, rivers and lakes. We create and assist
with educational projects, especially with the young in order to bring about a greater and deeper understanding
of the importance of the environment in which we live.
We arrange interesting monthly talks and presentations on topical subjects. We employ Scouts and pay
snare bounties in the battle against poachers. We have bird walks, and field activities as well as
social events for our members. We try to guard against the far reaching adverse effects of mans actions
on the environment by watching developments and ensuring that planned projects are subject to
proper EIA`s, [Environmental Impact Assessments]. We act proactively against poaching, deforestation,
and destruction of resources.
Mission Statement: To promote full public participation in the wise management of wildlife, natural
resources and the environment.
Objectives: To create an awareness and action on environmental issues at all levels of society
* To influence government policy and action in areas of community participation, environmental education
