The project targets 169,136 ha of forest located in a 5 km band inside of three critical Protected Areas in Malawi, which are now islands of standing forest in a heavily degraded landscape matrix and are rapidly being degraded by adjacent communities
These areas have limited governance resources and are under increasing pressure from local populations intensifying and expanding their exploitation of forest resources to unsustainable levels
The project supports sustainable forest management within the border zones of the protected areas by empowering more than 45,000 households living within 10 km of these areas in over 800 villages to develop a range of livelihood activities
It is a pro-poor approach to community-based forest management for the protection of natural forest
These protected areas have high biodiversity values, being habitat for lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, hyena, zebra, hippopotamus, crocodile, warthog, monkeys, kudu, roan antelope, sable antelope, greater kudu, Liechtenstein’s hartebeest, eland, reedbuck, bushbuck, common duiker, bush pig, impala and over 160 species of birds
Nyika NP is a biodiversity hotspot for both plants and mammals, with the highest number of large mammals and the highest concentration of roan antelopes in Africa, the world’s largest blue swallow breeding population and 215 orchid species
