Wilderness launches interactive 4Cs website

This is the "World of Wilderness" and is a wonderful way to explore all the work that the Wilderness group is doing throughout the nine countries in which they operate.

Explore the website to learn more about the different projects at the various camps, as well as all the activities of the Wilderness Wildlife Trust and Children in the Wilderness. The site provides information, images, videos and quick facts with links to the websites of the different Wilderness companies and non-profit organisations. It also gives users the opportunity to share on social media platforms, making it even more interactive.

Survey shows increase in large mammals

Meanwhile, the results of the latest Liwonde Aerial Survey have been received - showing a general increase of large mammals across the board, which is excellent news for Malawi's primary wildlife haven. The count included those species that are easily counted from the air in Liwonde, notably elephant, buffalo, sable, waterbuck, impala, warthog and hippo.

Liwonde National Park, covering an area of about 55 000ha, has now undergone six consecutive annual censuses. The last three have been conducted with near identical methodology, which means that trends in populations can be more easily seen. Liwonde's hippo densities, excluding Lake Malombe, are probably higher than Zimbabwe's Mana Pools or Zambia's South Luangwa. Sable density here is also amongst the highest in Africa.
