Apiaries and Memories: A Nyika Conservation Story
|
Nyika, meaning “where the water comes from” in the local language, is one of Malawi’s most important water catchment areas. It is also one of the most remarkable ecosystems in the country. Sitting at an elevation of about 2,500 meters above sea level, Nyika National Park is home to an amazing biodiversity of flora and fauna, including lions, leopards, elephants, buffaloes, zebras, large numbers of antelopes and over 435 species of birds and 200 types of orchids. The Park’s extensive savannah and marshes provide refuge to important migratory birds and endangered species, and protects such sacred places as Mwanda hill and Kaulime Lake, which have served as local spiritual sanctuaries for centuries. This unique, Afro- montane center of biodiversity, however, is under threat.

REDD CREDITS BOOST COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS FOR BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION IN MALAWI
|
In tiny Malawi, two rural community groups are taking giant leaps toward conservation. These two groups, made up of 21 villages, are the first in the country to be successfully certified and registered, enabling them to sell forest carbon in the global voluntary markets. The two groups now have an estimated 1,510,729 tCO2e or tradable emissions reductions credits available for sale over 10 years.
