Helping keep Lake Malawi alive
Lake Malawi is a lake of life - not just underneath its surface but around its vast shores.
WWF has been working in the Mangochi Region, next to Lake Malawi, since 1980.
The wildlife conserved by the project ranges from cichlids, a massive variety of small, colourful fish with an equally diverse range of behaviours, to the black rhino, a critically endangered giant.
At its core, the project deals with people, the main aim being to find ways to bring both wildlife conservation and the well-being of people together.
