Chicago Zoological Society Brookfield Zoo

Great news!
After writing my proposal last year and submitting it to many organisations all over the world the Chicago Zoological Society Brookfield Zoo has granted me funds towards the running costs of my project. This will go a long way to keeping this project up and running for a while and I will be able to continue with my pilot survey of the various parks and reserves in Malawi.
This is not only great news news for the project but also excellent news for me as it demonstrates that a large organisation like Chicago Zoological Society Brookfield Zoo has the faith and confidence in me.
At present my land rover is in bits in Lilongwe and I have purchased the spares in the UK to enable me to get this up and running again on my return to Malawi.
The department of parks and Wildlife have sent the MOU through to me which is almost finalised which should mean I can take on volunteers with some degree of certanty.
I have no more reports of the Wild dogs being seen since May this year but hope to persue these on my return.
