Project African Wilderness (PAW) is a not for profit organisation with the express purpose of protecting and restoring the Mwabvi Wildlife Reserve in Malawi. ==History== In 2004, PAW was co-founded by English regeneration consultant Gaynor Asquith and a South African safari company owner. PAW now has a team of 48 in Malawi and as many volunteers in Europe working to protect a remote and beautiful part of Africa. At the time of PAW's founding, illegal poaching made the Mwabvi wildlife reserve was almost devoid of animals. PAW is not only a conservation project. Money that is raised is put into the development of projects (and infrastructure) that will benefit the local people of Mwabvi and allow them to take control of their own livelihoods through businesses and education relating to eco-tourism. In February 2007, Project African Wilderness signed a long-term legal agreement with the Malawi Government's Department of National Parks and Wildlife to take over the conservation and development of Mwabvi Wildlife Reserve, which is one of the nine National Parks in Malawi and was first protected in 1928. The environmental conservation team is led by Barry Kerr, an experienced South African conservation and environmentalist. His partner Adele Kerr carries out marketing and oversees the growing and vital community development programme. In 2010, as a result of the work done by project African Wilderness and their Malawian sister company the (Mwabvi Wildlife and Community Trust (MWCT) ) Mwabvi opened Njate Lodge for tourists. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Project African Wilderness」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
