CAMERA TRAPS

My thanks go to The African Lion and Environmental Research Trust (ALERT) and David Youldon for supplying the project with 2 Bushnells camera traps and 3 Lumix digital cameras for use in the park survey and anti poaching initiative taking place in Kasungu NP. For details of their work in Africa please see web site below.

My return to Malawi


No luck with raising funds for the project so I have decided to return to Malawi anyway and get on with the survey and anti-poaching as best as I can with limited resources. I have booked my flight for the end of August when the weather is getting hot. The prices of flights are very high due to the summer holidays and Olympics.
I have the spares for the land rover and hope they fix the issues I have with a smoky engine. If not I am in trouble.
The project will continue with the emphasis on continuing with the survey to see what wildlife is around and to continue with the anti poaching initiative which I set up last year.
Poaching and encroachment are still a real issue in the park and if anyone has any ideas of how I can raise money to help save the lives of the wildlife and future of the park please let me know before it is too late.
