Four rhino calves have been born in Liwonde National Park in Malawi this year.
One year ago, together with the Government of Malawi, African Parks undertook one of the largest international airlifts of black rhino when 17 black rhinos were flown from South Africa to Malawi. By translocating this endangered species, African Parks were able to boost the nation’s rhino population and improve its genetic diversity.
This would not have been possible without the ongoing support of African Parks’ donors. To thank all involved in making it possible, African Parks have produced a six-minute film documenting the rhinos’ historic journey to Malawi which you can see here.
Together with the Government of Malawi, African Parks have spent the past 17 years on effective park management, professionalising law enforcement, working with communities, and restoring critically endangered species such as rhinos to Malawi.
The rangers, who come from the communities living close to the border of the park, have reduced the threat of poaching, improved community engagement, and made Liwonde safe for their arrival.
United, African Parks are ensuring that these wild areas contribute to the well-being of not only wildlife but to the people who inhabit these areas as well.
