The Nyika-Vwaza (UK) Trust

Mission Statement
As the leading conservation agency based in the United Kingdom that is supporting conservation work within Malawi’s Nyika National Park and the Vwaza Marsh Wildlife Reserve and their surrounding communities, our present policies are to:

1. respond to requests from the trustees of the Malawi based Nyika Vwaza Trust (NVT) for financial resources to the extent that we are able to do so and in conformity with the Objects of our Trust;

2. raise funds from institutions and individuals around the world to meet present and future needs of NVT and to develop and grow an Endowment Fund to provide long-term financial stability and income;

3. develop a body of supporters within the UK and internationally and facilitate a sense of common purpose and union between them;

4. publicise the importance of the parks as precious areas of wildlife biodiversity with endemic species of flora and fauna that are endangered;

5. encourage the public, especially Malawians, to appreciate and value the parks for the importance of their resources, their aesthetic qualities and their mental and spiritual restorative capacities;

6. promote scientific and historical research about the parks;

7. support Governments, especially the Governments of Malawi and Zambia, international and other institutions, in their efforts to protect and conserve the parks in perpetuity.
