More great news from Liwonde National Park! Camera traps set up by our biodiversity monitoring team have confirmed the arrival of nine African Wild Dog pups. This is the pack's second litter since reintroduction last year by African Parks, Endangered Wildlife Trust and DNPW

We’ve recorded 4 species of Critically Endangered vultures in Liwonde National Park after an absence of 20+ years. Their comeback is credited to the reintroduction of cheetahs & lions + the carcasses they leave behind Read the full article on Mongabay ➡️ news.mongabay.com/2022/07/cheeta…
