The Catholic Diocese of Zomba is urging religious institutions across Malawi to intensify their climate change awareness campaigns. According to AMECEA News, Bishop Alfred Mateyu Chaima called on churches to use their platforms to educate congregations about environmental conservation. He noted that many individuals involved in deforestation and charcoal production are active church members. The bishop stressed that combating climate change and protecting forests is a moral responsibility that requires a collective effort from local communities to safeguard the country's natural resources.
In other environmental developments, African Parks has recorded significant progress in protecting Malawi's wildlife reserves. According to Malawi Tourism, the conservation organisation recently released its latest annual report highlighting that Majete Wildlife Reserve has maintained a record of zero rhino and elephant poaching incidents. Furthermore, efforts to mitigate human-wildlife conflict have advanced at Liwonde National Park, where the completion of a 244-kilometer elephant-resistant perimeter fence successfully prevented animal breakouts into surrounding communities.
