THE NYIKA-VWAZA TRUSTS: BIBLIOGRAPHY

 

INTRODUCTION

 

The original bibliography was compiled voluntarily by Louisa Verney in November 2006 whilst spending part of a 3-month sabbatical holiday at Chelinda in the Nyika National Park.  Exactly three years later it was revised and updated (also voluntarily) in Australia by Dr. David Happold, Emeritus Fellow in the Department of Botany and Zoology at The Australian National University, Canberra. This Second Edition is now published on our website colour coded so that readers can see the degree of completeness of each entry. Inevitably, a bibliography is always incomplete as new works are constantly being written, and especially so when the subjects are of wide-ranging scientific and popular interest, as are the Nyika and Vwaza parks.

 

The trustees are enormously grateful to Louisa and David for the painstaking work that they have done, but there is now need for a team of an Editor and Assistant Regional Editors throughout the world to maintain the bibliography and keep it up to date. If you would like to participate and are able to offer your services voluntarily, please contact either Harry Foot, Secretary of The Nyika-Vwaza (UK) Trust via stowfoots@southdevon.org or Carl Bruessow, Secretary of the Nyika-Vwaza Trust (Malawi) via carl@mountainmulanje.org.mw

 

Carl Bruessow is currently updating the 2nd edition version below and will continue as Malawi Editor. We are most grateful to him.
